Cotton Prices Began To "Fever" &Nbsp, But The Peak Season Is Now Off Season.

From 13 thousand yuan / ton in September 1st this year to 31 thousand yuan / ton in November 9th, in just two months, the domestic cotton price seems to have been on the roller coaster.

However, with the introduction of the national regulation and control policy, cotton has fallen below 26 thousand yuan per ton since December, but the price of cotton cloth has not plunged.

Reporters recently learned from Yantai city's three stations and other places of cloth city that although cotton prices have dropped, cotton prices are still at a high level. In the market, prices of raw materials and finished products have changed for two days. This kind of "price gap" has given consumers a strong wait-and-see sentiment.

Bedding increased by more than 30% during the same period.

Xintiandi cloth city, located at the three stop in Yantai, is the largest and most comprehensive in Jiaodong.

"How did a set of four piece sets (sheets, pillowcases, quilts, bedspreads) cost so much?" Ms. Chen Juan, who was busy preparing for her daughter's wedding, took a stroll in the mall that day, and was surprised to find that the same set of wedding bedding was also over 1000 yuan last year, and this year it ran to over 1400 yuan.

"Take this twill, at last time this year, the highest price is about 10 yuan / meter, but I entered the price last month is 14.4 yuan / meter."

Sister Li, who has been selling cotton cloth for 9 years, pointed to a piece of cotton flour that he had seen.

It is not just this piece of cotton that rises in price, it is not a particular category.

Price fluctuation

On the morning of 12, the reporter turned around in the city of cloth city. There were not many customers in the big shopping malls. Many of the cloth counters were deserted. Most of the shopkeepers were chatting, reading newspapers or playing cards.

"At this time last year, it was no problem selling one thousand or eight hundred dollars a day, and now it's hard to get eighty times a day."

Cong Yang, who is reading the newspaper, has rented two stalls with his parents in the cloth city, to see the performance this month.

Why is it difficult to do business? "It's not that cotton prices have dropped, cotton cloth has to drop."

There are a few customers who share the same view with Lv Fangzhi.

Reporters learned that in recent months, the price of cotton cloth has largely blocked the enthusiasm of customers. Although cotton prices began to drop this month, most of the public felt that they would continue to fall. They should take a look at the situation and buy them again.

"Although the price of cotton has been steadily reduced under the state control, there is no price at all, and the purchase price is still high, and there is no downward trend."

Businessman Liu told reporters that cotton prices in recent years, it is difficult to reduce.

"Business was very hot in the past year, and business is not good now, and just take the opportunity to rest."

Lao Liu said half jokingly that he could take the "annual leave" ahead of schedule, and many shopkeepers around him had this idea.

The peak season is decreasing from the cotton price.

"Although cotton prices began to" fever ", but cotton prices did not decline.

For this month's recession, the three station clothing market Xintiandi cloth City City Hall administrator Hou Wenting sees in the eye.

"At this time last year, there were quite a lot of customers, and this year there was a real decrease."

Hou Wenting told reporters that sales were rather bleak during the same period of the year.

"By the end of the year, there will probably be a small peak."

Hou Wenting said.

The reporter then contacted the relevant staff of Yantai Price Bureau, the other side said that the price rise of cotton was caused by a comprehensive factor, first of all, the nationwide cotton production reduction.

Secondly, under the double background of the reduction of production and the rising of agricultural products, many cotton growers and dealers are reluctant to sell cotton, and the "harvest less, selling a good price to make up for the loss" has become the common psychology of many cotton farmers.

At the same time, reducing production and hoarding goods to the idle capital also provided an excellent opportunity for speculation, prompting cotton prices to further jump.
