“What’s the price of 1.5D viscose staple fiber today?”
“17350”
“What? It’s gone up again?!”
Following the 13th, manufacturers in many places raised the price of viscose staple fiber again on the 15th, ranging from 100 yuan to 300 yuan per ton, reaching 17,200 yuan/ton to 17,500 yuan/ton. After the Spring Festival holiday, the market price of viscose staple fiber continues to rise. So far, it has increased by about 800 yuan per ton. At present, some manufacturers have high operating rates and low inventories, resulting in tight product supply. According to estimates by reliable institutions, the supply of viscose staple fiber will continue to be tight in 2017. There is a great possibility that prices will continue to rise!
It is understood that the current operating rate of downstream enterprises continues to rebound, but the inventory of viscose staple fiber is still low. Relevant manufacturers said that the market will have more orders in the early stage, and enterprises will not have the pressure of sales and inventory. The intention of manufacturers to increase prices is generally biased. Strong, coupled with the continued environmental protection production restrictions and the reduction of new production capacity, the supply and demand pattern of the viscose market is gradually improving, and the industry’s prosperity is on the rise. The daily production and sales of high-end manufacturers are mostly 80-100%. Mid-range quotations have also been raised to 17,200-17,500 yuan/ton, and some higher quotations have been raised to 17,500-17,600 yuan/ton. The downstream mentality of buying up and not buying down remains the same.
Thinking about it a few days ago, when the price of viscose staple fiber was still at 16,800 yuan/ton, textile companies did not carry out large-scale replenishment because they were in a wait-and-see mood. Do you regret it now? The author visited a Shengze yarn company, and the person in charge said: “People nowadays have a strong mentality of buying up prices rather than buying down prices. When the prices are not rising yet, they keep a look-and-see attitude. Now that the price has increased like this, I regret why I didn’t stock up on goods in the first place.” Judging from the current market transactions, although there are many new orders, manufacturers mostly focus on executing early orders. According to market participants, this year’s large sticky Due to too many over-signed orders in the early stage, rubber staple fiber companies basically have no inventory, while small and medium-sized companies have about 4 days. This is definitely a “natural” excuse for price increases based on the market outlook.
Does this confirm what a certain sticky short salesperson said before, “We are not in a hurry to raise prices. We will adjust prices when the downstream yarn and cloth markets become clearer, but price increases should be the general trend.” But the author did not expect it. This wave of price increases is coming so fast! According to the person in charge of a company that specializes in core-spun yarn, the quotations on the market are currently on the high side, and it is difficult to negotiate prices with suppliers. After all, if orders signed many years ago are made at the current price, Loss is inevitable. Although the factory stocked up some goods before the Spring Festival holiday, the processing factory is now short of manpower and delivery is a problem. The current situation has reached a point where even if there is an order, it is afraid to accept it. It is really a headache.
From this point of view, it is an indisputable fact that the price of viscose staple fiber remains high. According to the current situation, should downstream textile companies step up stocking up to prepare for emergencies? The author guesses that those textile companies that have stocked up in the past two days should I have already made a fortune by taking advantage of this momentum. After all, the viscose staple fiber that is currently “hot” may become even more popular in the future!
