On February 6, the PTA spot price showed an upward adjustment, MEG prices steadily rose, and prices for semi-dull polyester chips and bright polyester chips continued to consolidate. CDP chip prices remained stable, while there was a slight upward adjustment in polyester bottle chip prices. Acrylic short fiber (1.5D×38mm) and acrylic tow (3D×102mm) prices both saw adjustments. CPL and nylon-6 chip prices remained stable for now, as did airbag fabric.
The market for polyester filament yarn still appeared relatively weak, with average trading volumes. Market prices remained steady, but sales of different varieties were uneven. In Shengze, Tongxiang, and Taicang regions, polyester filament quotations all remained stable. For example, a mainstream local factory quoted POY150D/144F at 12,550-12,650 yuan/ton. However, actual bulk transactions for locally produced semi-dull FDY were mainly based on bilateral negotiations. Currently, due to downstream enterprises still being very cautious about purchasing, trading volumes in the polyester filament market are low, with almost no bulk transactions. Spinning mills' sales and production situations vary greatly, and polyester filament inventories have increased. However, supported by polymerization costs, the short-term opposing situation in the polyester filament market will continue, likely remaining stable overall.
The general trend for cotton yarns continues to be volatile. From the perspective of variety sales, demand for 32s cotton yarn is good, while other specifications remain relatively flat. In blended yarn products, viscose-cotton yarn series prices remain stable or slightly increasing, though trading volumes are not large. Prices for some specifications of 90/10 polyester-cotton yarn have been adjusted upwards. In the pure polyester yarn market, prices for some varieties show an upward trend. Polyester short fiber prices consolidate, with the latest market midpoint around 12,550 yuan/ton. It is expected that the pure polyester yarn market will moderately adjust in the future. Viscose short fiber prices continue to rise, with the current average at 17,800 yuan/ton. It is anticipated that the viscose yarn market will continue to rise in the future.
