Viscose yarn prices sustained the weakness of recent weeks as upstream VSF prices were under correction. Thus, spun yarn prices were dismal amid thin trading.

Offers in China declined, despite textile industry was slowly recovering in the past months due to continuous fall of cotton prices from high levels.
