Hebei: Heavy Losses Of Enterprises With Spot Price But Without Market

Recently, the whole cotton market in Hebei Province is still in a low state. The growth of new cotton is not good, and cotton farmers can not see the hope of high yield; the spot price has no market, and some ginning plants have lost money; the cotton seed is out of date, and the transaction is basically suspended; the yarn is due to less orders, enterprises have more holidays.
Spot price has no market, the more you hoard, the more you lose. On the 17th, a cotton ginning factory owner in Hengshui, Hebei Province, said that the cotton production in the local cotton fields was basically not sold this year, mainly due to the serious losses of small cotton mills downstream, and most of them have stopped production or closed down. On the same day, the enterprise's 3128b grade real estate cotton quotation was 19000 yuan / T (gross weight, delivery), which was the same as yesterday.

In the same way, a trader who was losing money in Xinjiang cotton business also suffered a lot. At present, the picking price of "double 29" Xinjiang machine picked cotton was 12600 yuan / ton (delivery, public weight and ticket), which was the same as yesterday. The business has been unable to continue for a week.

Some dealers, traders and ginners who still have lint feel that the road ahead is long and there is no hope. The main reason is that there are very few downstream orders, and the epidemic situation in foreign countries is still serious. Coupled with the Sino US trade war, the enterprise psychology is also pessimistic.

Yarn orders are still low and mill holidays are increasing. Since the middle of July, many spinning mills in Hebei Province have already had a holiday. The general holiday is one month, with some 50-60 days. The reasons for the holiday are: first, the payment for goods is slow, and the production and operation of enterprises are in short supply; second, the downstream orders are very few, and the inventory of products is rising. For example, an enterprise in Shijiazhuang now has a product inventory of 30 days.

As of the 17th, the price of low and medium count yarn in the province was generally stable, but the trading volume was not large. The price of 21s and 32S was 17500 yuan / ton and 18500 yuan / ton respectively, which was basically the same as yesterday. In addition, the prices of some medium and high count yarns also remained stable. For example, the prices of combed 40s and combed 40s in a certain factory were 19700 yuan / ton and 21000 yuan / ton respectively. The overall price level was about 600 yuan / ton lower than that at the beginning of this month, but it remained low and stable since this week.
