Nylon filament yarn prices were range-bound this week on easing cost pressure and ample supply in the market. Buyers followed up cautiously and as a result, uptrend lost momentum while trading volume was shrinking. Industrial run rate was at 78%, with capacity at around 3.5 million tons a year.

Demand for FDY was decent while the rest was modest. Overall, nylon yarn prices are expected to remain range-bound in coming weeks.
