In China, offers for ring‐spun 30s weaving yarn in Xiaoshan fell US cents 2 a kg in the third week of May, while compact siro‐spun 40s yarn in Jiangsu declined US cents 4 a kg on the week. Viscose spun yarn prices declined in line with the VSF markets in China and Pakistan.
Liquidity in China was generally insipid, except for core‐spun yarn and a few high‐count yarns. Some yarn makers reportedly piled up inventory worth 30 days. However, given the fund pressure, some makers were heard to offload goods, while some intended to extend the holidays for the Dragon Boat Festival.
