Everyone must have been dazzled by the ups and downs of raw material prices. From crude oil to PTA, they are all going up and down. So in this fluctuating market, have textile people made any losses?
This article will compare the horizontal and vertical dimensions to see whether weaving companies can make money by buying polyester yarn on the day when production and sales are high! Judging from the data compiled by the editor, at least it’s not a loss!
Weaving companies just need to purchase
First of all, let’s look at the days when polyester filament production and sales increased through horizontal comparison. The following table shows the days when production and sales exceeded 100 as of April 23. From the table, we can find that the days when polyester filament production increased are very regular, basically 10 days. No matter how long it takes, there won’t be any. This is a good explanation that the current procurement strategy of weaving companies is indeed to adopt rigid purchase, and replenish raw materials when they are about to be exhausted.
And it can be inferred that the quantity purchased by the company is about 15 days, and this statement has been verified through market visits. The business owner still maintains a more cautious attitude towards the market, buying as many raw materials as there are orders on hand, so as to avoid factory There are too many raw materials in stock, which makes it difficult to digest later.
Polyester prices tend to stabilize
In fact, for weaving companies, such a procurement plan also stabilizes the cost of raw materials to a certain extent. By counting the prices of polyester filament in these seven days, we can find that from February 14 to April 14, polyester filament prices The difference in silk price is only 135 yuan/ton. Judging from the average, the price range is also right in the middle. For textile workers, it is best for the cost to be relatively stable.
If the raw materials fluctuate too much, no matter how sharply they rise or fall, it will not be a good thing for weaving companies. Needless to say, the plummeting market price will definitely put forward suggestions for weaving companies to reduce prices. This is not a good thing. Gray fabric factories do not have enough confidence to raise prices. If they follow the price increase just because of cost increases, then downstream customers will not buy it. It is better to lower the profit margin to ship goods.
It is a good thing for weaving companies that raw material prices continue to fluctuate and remain relatively stable, but the current situation may not be so lucky for polyester factories.
Polyester factory stocks piled high
Because every surge in production and sales of a polyester factory is related to the procurement node, but it is also related to the operation of the polyester factory. I believe everyone still remembers that the price of polyester filament last year basically maintained a situation of rising first and then falling, but now This year, the trend has changed. Polyester prices have declined first and then increased, so the purchasing node has also moved from the end of the month to the middle of the month. However, this method of operation will still bring about the same situation as last year, where production and sales are only one-day tours.
Now that the traditional peak season has bid farewell in advance, the production enthusiasm of weaving enterprises is relatively sluggish. In the past two weeks, the operating rate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has continued to decline, currently remaining at 72.8%. With the arrival of the May Day holiday, some enterprises have reported that they will take 1-2 days off. Therefore, The enthusiasm for purchasing raw materials will also decrease, and it is expected that polyester factory inventories will face the risk of being piled up again.
To sum up, it is now approaching the end of the month. Although we bid farewell to the peak season, we are also approaching the replenishment node. Therefore, it is expected that polyester filament may increase in volume next week. However, because the May Day weaving companies are expected to have a holiday, polyester may have Due to the accumulation of storage pressure, the price of crude oil is declining, and the current raw material prices mostly follow the cost fluctuations. Therefore, there are promotion expectations, and it is expected to fluctuate downward.
