In India, VSF producers’ prices were stable at US$2.20-2.31 a kg and no hike was proposed yet for June. Spinners reportedly had low inventory of raw material and are likely to replenish gradually in coming week but in low volumes seeing demand for yarn still rigid and no signs of improvement in near future.
