Now POY 75D/144F is quoted 17,560 Yuan/ton; POY 75D/72F is 16,710 Yuan/ton; FDY 50D/24F is quoted 19,000 Yuan/ton and low-stretch DTY 150D/48F is 16,500 Yuan/ton. Although the PTA futures rebounded, there is still no stock pressure for the chemical fiber manufacturers. The downstream weaving factories are careful about the polyester yarn tendency in the afternoon market. The chemical fiber manufacturers still concentrate on the selling amount. Therefore, in a short term, the slight regulation of the polyester yarn price will most possibly happen in the market.
