In July, high cost and low demand. In July, the market of viscose staple fiber was weak, and the price fell slightly. The price of raw material dissolved pulp remains firm, the comprehensive cost remains high, and the pressure of manufacturers is difficult to ease, which still has strong support for the price of viscose staple fiber. Manufacturers actively support prices, most of them offer stable prices, and most of them say they would rather reduce production than reduce prices. Some viscose staple fiber factories adopt the method of reducing production speed, so as to alleviate the contradiction between the current market downturn and rising inventory, and delay their own pulp inventory consumption.

In terms of demand, the traditional textile off-season entered in July, and the terminal demand showed no signs of improvement. In the short term, the willingness to take goods was not high. In addition, the high temperature in summer was coming, and the yarn enterprises started or showed a downward trend.

The whole viscose staple fiber industry chain has entered a stalemate, and viscose staple fiber shows a situation of price without market.

Downstream cotton yarn prices fell significantly, popularity was relatively low, trading was light, and the overall inventory of the industry was still rising.
