Does Cotlook monitor cotton yarn prices as well?
Apart from weekly reports in our Cotton Outlook, some of which contain yarn price information, we aso publish the Cotlook Yarn Index. The Index is designed to monitor movement in yarn prices and is derived by calculating an average from a set of FOB prices for ring spun carded 20’s and 30’s from five origins (weighted to reflect exports of all yarns from each individual country) and is expressed as a percentage of the comparable value for 2005.
