And other chemical fiber products, due to crude oil futures prices dragged down, implanted in a downward path, the road of rebound is slim.

According to the latest statistics of the General Administration of customs, China's textile and apparel exports totaled 88 billion 878 million US dollars in the first half of 2010, an increase of 22.04% over the same period last year.

Among them, the export of textiles was US $35 billion 652 million, an increase of 32.31% over the previous year, and exports of clothing and accessories reached US $53 billion 226 million, up 16.02% over the same period last year.

In June, China's Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) was 52.1%, which has declined for two consecutive months, indicating that China's economic growth rate is slowing down. On the other hand, the high price of textile raw materials has gradually been pmitted to the lower reaches, which has a negative impact on exports.

Overall, the price of textile raw materials is expected to be weak in the three quarter.
