Prices16 Apr 2018US cotton exports were revised upwards by the United States Department of Agriculture, despite it being targeted with tariffs by China. Robust demand, crop issues in India and lower synthetic fibre output from China allow expected US cotton exports to grow. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, projected cotton supply was revised upwards in Pakistan, due to an upward revision in imports. Expected demand, on the other hand, dropped 0.5% due to downward revision in exports as projected consumption remained stable relative to the previous month. Viscose staple fibre prices have been on a downward trend since 15-23 March to 14,360 yuan per tonne on 12 April, while viscose yarn price stabilised at 19,600 yuan per tonne since 19 March.
