Nylon filament yarn makers trimmed operation due to slow demand while prices moved up further with margins turning positive amid rising raw material cost. Nylon yarn producers hiked offers further to relieve cost pressure.
Demand was lusterless as it was close to the end of the lunar year and converters cut production. Warp?knitting, weaving and AJ covering sectors witnessed smooth sales but operated at low rate of 30%. Meanwhile, circular?knitting mills and lacing mills trimmed operating rate to 10%. In non?textile sectors, fishing?net yarn, monofilament, staple fiber and cord fabric markets saw flagging demand.
