Cotton price "roller coaster" clothing prices are not synchronized

Although yesterday's cotton varietal main variety 1205 rose by 415 yuan at the bottom of about 21,400 yuan per tonne, the 32 mainstay varieties of cotton yarns in Zhejiang East Textile City were still at 31,000 yuan per ton. In just 4 months or so, the cotton price that had originally risen straight from the bottom to the high level has been tumbling. The cotton and cotton yarns in Fucheng City have been used to express the crazy roller coaster market. The floating cotton has changed from the “cotton palm” to the “cotton sleeve”, making many cotton spinning companies Investors, dealers and ** investors were injured and a detailed investigation was conducted.

More than 40,000 yuan per ton of cotton yarn has become a cloudless day before, and came to Zhejiang Textile City, which is located in Jiangbei, and the venue has become quite calm. It is only the cotton yarn lying in a warehouse that covers more than 3,000 tons. It seems to tell a story to people. It was a crazy story of cotton yarn fluctuations. In the office of General Manager Lu Chun of the market, he chatted with him about the ins and outs of the crazy roller coaster market in cotton and cotton yarn. He said that since last September, China’s cotton prices have steadily increased, soaring from 18,000 yuan per ton, surpassing the threshold of 30,000 yuan, and the highest quotation has even reached 34,000 yuan, an increase of nearly 90%. It was dubbed by people as “cotton palm”. . This directly drove the price of cotton yarn soaring. Before and after the Spring Festival this year, the main varieties of finely-polished 32 sticks went straight to 48,000 yuan per ton, and by May it was still 40,000 yuan per ton. Unexpectedly, not long after, the price of cotton yarn dipped high and fell all the way. As of yesterday, the price of cotton yarn fell by nearly 10,000 yuan per ton.

Time seems to cross through this spring again. It is understood that at that time, more than 80 business households in the entire market, many business households tried their best to eat cotton yarn and tried to chase it high. Some market analysts in the urban areas also rushed forward. Here, we lobbied for an empty market, thinking that the market is still far from the top of the mountain. In fact, some business households have panicked. Yesterday, one of the market’s largest cotton yarn operators, who did not wish to be named, said that at the time, looking at cotton yarn once a day, despite smiling on the surface, the heart was very scared and afraid of diving. Unexpectedly, the price of cotton has entered the inflection point since early March of this year, and after some days it really “jumps”.

Yesterday, it was learned that there were not only business households but also some cotton spinning companies and garment factories that were stuck in high-priced cotton in Lucheng.

Who is the promoter of crazy cotton prices?

In a period of time less than a year, cotton has created layers of waves. Is it caused by soaring clothing consumption? Actually it is not. It is understood that the current price of cotton roller coaster is related to a large amount of hot money. In this regard, the deputy general manager of Zhejiang Yongan ** Ningbo Business Department Shu Zhifeng vividly remembered yesterday, he told, August 8th, China's cotton price index has dropped to 19,635 yuan / ton, compared to this round of peak cotton prices in March At 31,000 yuan/ton, it fell by nearly 40%. At the beginning of this year, due to inflation expectations and the impact of real estate regulation, a large number of hot money went into the cotton industry. Among them, the main force of China's long-term capital investment was extremely rapid. However, it was not long after the country implemented the macro-control of cotton prices and once again When the cotton protection ceiling price was set at 19,800 yuan per ton, the price of cotton fell quickly. It was not uncommon for a few hundred dollars to fall every day.

At present, the new cotton collection and storage will begin, where the cotton market is headed, remains confusing and can only wait for market inspections.

The retail price of clothing has not been synchronized with the price of diving cotton and cotton yarn. Will it fluctuate downwards for the clothing retail price in Yucheng? According to the survey, the prices of clothing in many department stores and Apparel markets still go their own way and there are no obvious signs of falling.

Yesterday, I met the money manager of the Yintai Department Store Planning Department, a fashionista who knew the market from time to time and liked to add new clothes. She dived into the introduction, cotton and cotton yarn prices. For the clothing price, the current situation has little effect. In terms of autumn clothes, prices have not fallen. Discounts are larger when the store is engaged in promotions. For winter wear, it is difficult to say if it has any influence.

Mr. Shen, who has three women's clothing brands and opened a number of clothing stores, tells that today, the main consumers of clothing are middle-aged and young women. They value clothing design and brand awareness. Unlike the era of "popular red skirts on the street", manufacturers and businesses have a large proportion of apparel pricing, style design, branding, and process innovation, and the fabric components are also diverse. Therefore, the price of cotton and cotton yarns is generally insignificant for the retail price of clothing. However, the pricing of cotton underwear and cotton jackets may be affected.
