US-China Quota Fill Rates and Prices by Mid-May

Write: Phoena [2011-05-20]

Quota fill rates more rapidly rose in the last four-week period but are far from reaching alarming levels. Quotas for cotton T-shirts and trousers will have been fully utilized by the end of the year, reflecting surging competition from China for other low-cost countries. Quota prices are rising in both 338/339 and 347/348 while generally declining in other categories.
