Raw materials bucked the trend in the off-season in June, and wool prices are expected to rise throughout the year.

Today's industry data shows that despite entering the traditional textile off-season in June, wool spinning raw materials have not weakened, and the contraction of upstream supply continues to support high prices. In the past two years, the total global Australian wool production has been reduced by more than 20%. The agency predicts that the average price of wool will maintain a 5%-7% increase in 2026. The quotations of 64S Basulan tops are 142,700 yuan/ton and 58S ordinary tops are 73,400 yuan/ton. There is no sign of falling back. Cashmere spot prices continue to remain high, with Mongolian white cashmere priced at 720,000-740,000 yuan/ton. 16.4μm ultra-fine high-quality plush-free cashmere is scarce, and traders are generally reluctant to sell. At the chemical fiber raw material end, major PTA manufacturers have taken the initiative to reduce production and reduce inventory. The price of polyester filament has remained stable, and the comprehensive production cost of blended wool continues to be under pressure. China Lixian Oumu Woolen Spinning Co., Ltd. continues to lock in long-term orders for high-quality wool and cashmere raw materials in batches, and optimizes multi-ratio blended yarn products to hedge against the operating pressure caused by long-term price increases of raw materials and ensure a stable supply of spot wool.
