The increase in the physical inventory of the factory was mainly due to the stagnation of logistics during the Spring Festival.

As of February 18, the average business start-up rate in the major rayon yarn producing areas nationwide was 36%, an increase of 10 percentage points from before the holidays. As of February 19 (the eighth day of the day), a large number of spinning mills in Xiaoshan, Gaomi, Xinxiang, Wujiang and other places continue to operate centrally. It is anticipated that the overall operating rate of the rayon yarn industry can be restored to more than 50% tomorrow, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places still have some other placesemployeeThe average start-up level in the industry is actually higher than the same period in previous years to stay in the factory. However, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the Ching Ming May Day holiday will cause some city workers to leave the factory properly.

However, before the holidays, the cotton yarn was delisted earlier, and the price of the viscose staple fiber yarn did not follow during the increase process. If the current price is calculated at 15,000 yuan per ton of raw materials, the labor cost of the cotton yarn is limited. Cotton yarn will see a significant increase at the opening. Today, some vortex, Siro and tight competitions also increased by 500-1000 yuan / ton.

　　1General optimism of the quarterly market

Currently, the rayon yarn industry is rebooting successfully and viscose staple fibers will be shipped immediately before the holidays. The factory’s physical inventory will still be transferred and the pulp to be dissolved before the end of April.transportThe relatively difficult situation also limits the factory’s pre-sales efforts. Therefore, the price of viscose staple fiber is expected to continue to increase. After the industry reference price reaches 15,000 yuan / ton, a new resistance level is recommended to be found.
