Executive Market Report- 05 February 2018

Chinese Anhui cotton yarn prices remained stable in yuan terms relative to the week before, but rose in dollar terms due to further devaluation of the dollar against the yuan. YTD profits in wearing apparel and clothing dropped marginally relative to the same period the year before, according to YTD profit figures provided by CEIC and China’s National Bureau of Statistics. YTD profits among textile manufacturers also dropped year-on-year as well. Provisional figures provided by The State Bank of Pakistan show Pakistan’s textile trade surplus dropped 1.9% year-on-year in 2017 up to December relative to the year before as imports rose at a faster pace than exports. Karachi cotton and global cotton prices dropped relative to the week before, signalling a correction in the market. India is expected to maintain higher cotton prices due to short cotton outputs in pest-infected states of Maharashtra and Telangana. USDA revised downwards India’s projected cotton production for the 2017/18 market year relative to projections made in the previous month, due to a downward revision in expected yields.
