ConventionalCotton Prices on International and Domestic Markets (Weekly)
Cotton prices recovered last week after the sharp fall of early September. The end of state reserve sales in China removes a source of cheap supply and lifted Zhengzhou futures. New crop arrivals in Xinjiang, India and the United States will now cap any rebound. Prices may therefore stabilize over the coming weeks, supported by firm global fundamentals.
ConventionalPolyester Market Prices in Asia (Weekly)
Crude oil rebounded last week after Washington rejected the latest Iranian offer for a truce. Polyester intermediates followed and lifted the polyester chain to multi-year highs in September. Producers could not pass on the full cost increase and cut their operating rates to historically low levels. Textile mills refuse to buy at these price levels, even in the peak season.
SustainablesRecycled Polyester Staple Fiber and Yarn Prices (Monthly)
Virgin polyester staple fiber prices have surged since March under the pressure of crude oil and intermediates. Recycled polyester has not followed. Close virgin re-PSF now trades at a discount to virgin fiber in China, a rare situation as GRS certified fiber usually commands a premium. The discount is attracting new buyers, but weak demand has so far prevented producers from raising prices.
ConventionalNylon 6 and Nylon 6.6 Chain Prices (Monthly)
Nylon prices rose in September on higher feedstock costs. Benzene and caprolactam followed crude oil higher after new tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Nylon 6 filament producers passed most of the increase on to buyers and improved their margins. The rally lost momentum in the last week as crude oil and feedstock prices corrected.
ConventionalWool Prices In Australia and South Africa (Weekly)
Australian wool prices fell for a third week. The first sale after the Nanjing conference showed that Chinese demand is real, but selective. Fine wool found buyers and rose against the trend. Standard types kept falling, as mills resist paying more for wool that consumers will not pay for. A larger offering next week will test how much the market can absorb.
ConventionalLinen Fiber and Yarn Prices (Monthly)
The summer heatwave disrupted the European flax season, but it should not reduce output significantly. Plants matured early, and the dry weather slowed retting. New fiber will reach the market later than usual. Record acreage should still lift European production above last season's level. In China, spinners bought more flax fiber this year but exported less linen yarn. More of their yarn now goes to local weavers and garment makers.
ConventionalSpun Yarn Prices: Domestic Markets (Monthly)
Cotton and polyester moved in opposite directions in September. Cotton fiber prices fell after the summer rally. Cotton yarn prices started to follow, and India and China made the first cuts. Polyester staple fiber surged with crude oil after new attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Spinners in South Asia passed this cost on to polyester and blended yarns. In China, weak demand kept yarn prices almost flat.
ApparelEU Clothing Imports: Origin Comparison in 2nd Quarter 2026
The overall figures hide sharp differences between categories and origins. Extra-EU volumes fell 4.3% in knit clothing and rose 0.3% in woven clothing. China gained in almost every category. Most other suppliers lost ground in the large categories. Unit values moved in very different directions from one origin to another.
