PriceSeek Analysis
Nylon FDY
Bull-Bear Score: -1
Textile and apparel exports decreased by 1.9% year-on-year, indicating weak overall demand. As a primary textile raw material, nylon FDY spot prices face downward pressure. The reduction in trade volume suggests weakened downstream purchasing willingness, and spot prices are expected to remain under pressure in the short term.

Nylon DTY
Bull-Bear Score: -1
The industry’s trade volume fell by 2.2%, with imports declining by 5.8%, reflecting sluggish consumption in both domestic and international markets. The weakened demand for nylon DTY exerts a generally bearish impact on spot prices. The risk of oversupply is rising, and price support remains insufficient.

Nylon POY
Bull-Bear Score: -1
The simultaneous decline in exports and imports indicates shrinking end-demand. As an upstream material for apparel, nylon POY spot prices are dragged down by weak demand. The narrowing trade surplus exacerbates market pessimism, making prices more prone to decline than increase.

Viscose Staple Fiber
Bull-Bear Score: -1
Textile and apparel imports decreased by 5.8%, signaling weakened domestic production demand. Viscose staple fiber spot prices are affected by reduced downstream orders. The overall weak trade environment suggests a clear short-term downward trend in prices.

Rayon Yarn
Bull-Bear Score: -1
Trade volume fell by 2.2% year-on-year, with declining exports suppressing demand for rayon yarn, exerting generally bearish pressure on spot prices. The reduced prosperity in the apparel industry has led to lower enthusiasm for raw material procurement, weakening price support.
