In nylon-6 FDY market, prices moved sideways amid stable raw materials and lax demand from warp-knitting mills while nylon-6 POY market saw prices sustained the weakness amid tepid demand.

Nylon-6 DTY markets were range bound amid moderate demand from downstream. Overall, nylon yarn prices are possible to move sideways amid slow liquidity.
