The sales of pure cotton yarns have improved. Cotton yarn futures have soared and the transactions have improved. Some merchants have raised yarn prices ranging from 200-300 yuan/ton. The downstream cotton yarn start-up maintains a high position, and the short-term policy is implemented. Boosted by the high cotton yarn start-up position, it is expected that cotton prices will run strongly in the short term. In the long run, due to the expected decline in cotton production in Xinjiang and the impact of extreme weather in the United States, cotton prices are expected to continue to rise.
