Cotton yarn less the cotton in it, on the same trading day. What a spinner has to cover conversion cost, waste and profit out of.

What this is not. A gross spread, not a profit. It carries no conversion cost, no waste allowance and no yield adjustment - a kilogram of yarn takes more than a kilogram of cotton to make. Read the direction, not the level.
263 observations held, 2025-09-01 to 2026-09-30.
Where these figures come from
- Cotton yarn (China, futures settlement) — Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, contract CY611, observed 2026-09-30. the day's published table
- Cotton (China, futures settlement) — Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, contract CF701, observed 2026-09-30. the day's published table
Read this first. These are settlement prices from the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange — the Chinese domestic market, in yuan per tonne, for a dated futures contract. They are not Cotlook A, not a world price, and not what a trader paid for a bale this morning. They are carried because China spins more than anywhere else, so the direction is the market’s direction even where the level is not.
