Market Commentary
In this period, all four major down raw material categories fell across the board. 90% gray duck down was quoted at 530.78 yuan/kg, down 6.89 yuan; 90% white duck down was quoted at 559.44 yuan/kg, down 8.04 yuan; 90% gray goose down was quoted at 905.61 yuan/kg, down 11.65 yuan; and 90% white goose down was quoted at 972.76 yuan/kg, down 11.69 yuan. The decline in goose down was noticeably larger than that in duck down, with both white goose down and gray goose down falling by more than 11 yuan, while duck down fell within the 7 to 8 yuan range. The upstream raw material side continues to weaken, which may reflect sluggish demand for down jackets and related products, with downstream purchasing sentiment remaining largely wait-and-see, and short-term prices still under pressure.
