The market is full of surprises and may perform well in the short term!
The recovery situation of weaving manufacturers after the Spring Festival this year is better than that of the same period last year. The current start-up rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is generally around 70%. Driven by high welfare and local New Year policies, the turnover rate of old employees It is lower than the same period last year. Many companies have made careful arrangements before the Spring Festival holiday in order to enter intense production as soon as possible after the Spring Festival holiday.
Regarding the market conditions in 2021, many textile bosses believe that the industry is developing for the better. Mainly because the overall market environment is optimistic, the market can still continue to rise in the first half of the year. From the perspective of polyester fundamentals, crude oil has surged in the short term, and there may be strong support on the cost side. At present, the demand side is in a state of strong supply and sales. Downstream clothing has begun to purchase, and the demand side will continue to strengthen. At this stage, PTA and polyester inventories are low. If the epidemic factors have an impact on the downstream, the demand cycle may be lengthened.
However, there are also many uncertain factors in the market. Raw material prices are rising frequently and cost pressures are high, which affects the start-up and order-taking of weaving mills. Especially in foreign trade, raw material prices and exchange rate changes will have a greater impact on orders. You must be more careful when receiving foreign trade orders in 2021.
The editor believes that the off-peak season of the textile industry has been subverted again this year, and the market prices of various raw material products have suddenly emerged recently! Under this wave of “surprises”, I believe the textile market will perform well in the short term.
As the prices of many raw materials continue to rise and downstream prices rise, industry insiders predict that this year’s peak sales season may last for the entire first half of the year, and at this time, it can still be as stable as Mount Tai without panic. Yes, maybe it’s just the group of companies that stocked up before the price surged a year ago.
Opportunities and challenges coexist in industry development. Enterprises still need to pay more attention to and respond to risk issues, but they also need to seize the opportunity to take action. After all, good market conditions wait for no one. In today’s hot trading atmosphere, who doesn’t want to make a fortune as soon as the market opens? </p
