Judging from the tradition of previous years, after entering July, the domestic textile industry should enter the off-season. Decreasing orders, falling prices, and increasing production suspensions and production restrictions are the norm. However, this year’s off-season is not slow, which surprised many bosses. The raw material market has changed from what it used to be.” Depressed” market, the price keeps rising. Among them, the price of viscose staple fiber also bucked the trend and strengthened, breaking the traditional concept of off-season. Price increases, over-signing, and closing prices continued!
With a monthly increase of 1,000 yuan, the bottleneck of 16,000 yuan for viscose staple fiber has been broken!
Last week (July 17-21), the viscose staple fiber market continued its upward trend. At the beginning of the week, the quotations of manufacturers increased by 100-200 yuan/ton. The quotations of mid-range manufacturers were between 15,900-16,200 yuan/ton, and the quotations of high-end manufacturers were between 15,900 and 16,200 yuan/ton. At 16,200 yuan/ton, the actual transaction in the market was relatively smooth. In the second half of the week, the quotations of some manufacturers continued to make up for the increase. The actual transaction in the mid-range market was 15,800-16,000 yuan/ton, and the transaction in the high-end market was 16,100-16,200 yuan/ton. The early bottleneck of difficult transactions above 16,000 yuan has been basically broken, especially in the high-end product market where the production and sales momentum is good.
In fact, as early as early July, the market price of viscose staple fiber was raised again. The quotations of enterprises in East China, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast and other countries have all increased by about 100 yuan, and some major mainstream manufacturers have exceeded their quotas by 15-20 days. Whether it is domestic sales or foreign trade, viscose staple fiber manufacturers have performed well. Shipping supplies continue to be tight, and downstream spinning mills also maintain a tight need for replenishment. Driven by low inventory and concentrated downstream replenishment, the price of 1.2D viscose staple fiber has increased by a thousand yuan, breaking the manufacturer’s original plan to increase the price by 100 yuan a month. The price of viscose staple fiber continued to rise throughout July.
With orders in hand, the viscose staple fiber market in July is full of confidence!
We can see from the recent price trend chart of viscose staple fiber that in July, the entire viscose staple fiber industry chain showed an upward trend. On the one hand, prices in the upstream pulp market are rising, especially in the dissolving pulp market. Early orders for domestic dissolving pulp have generally come to an end. Pulp mills generally have good orders, and individual orders are over-signed. Broadleaf pulp is at 7100-7200 yuan/ton, and coniferous pulp prices are at 7100-7200 yuan/ton. Stop signing orders at a price of 7,300-7,400 yuan/ton. Some new quotations are planned to be raised again. For example, Sun Paper’s new quotation for dissolving pulp has been increased by 300 yuan/ton to 7,500 yuan/ton. On the other hand, the supply of viscose staple fiber manufacturers is tight. As early as mid-June, the spot supply of viscose staple fiber manufacturers has become tight. The order volume of manufacturers with sufficient pre-sale volume is 20-30 days or even higher. Entering July At the beginning of the month, downstream supplies continued to be replenished, and the market trading atmosphere was good. Some manufacturers even had pre-sale orders for about two months on hand. Judging from the current inventory situation in the industry, the inventory of mainstream manufacturers is maintained within one week, and some large manufacturers have basically no inventory. Therefore, even if the operating rate of downstream terminal markets decreases due to high temperatures, which dampens enthusiasm for purchasing raw materials, the orders on hand of manufacturers are enough to become the strongest tool to support viscose staple fiber manufacturers through the entire off-season (June-August).
According to previous practice, summer should be the best time for device maintenance. However, under the background of the current strong market, no manufacturer has yet issued a clear maintenance plan. With the arrival of September, the viscose staple fiber market will usher in the traditional peak demand season, and its price is expected to reach a new level.
