On July 17, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region's Department of Industry and Information Technology and other four departments issued a notice on the work plan for financial subsidies for Guangxi raw silk pledge guarantee loans. This helped boost downstream inquiries and transactions, and some manufacturers negotiated prices smoothly , The positive intention to get goods increased, and the market price of cocoon silk picked up slightly.

The purchase of fresh cocoons in Xincheng was basically completed in the first half of the year, and silkworm farmers have begun to cut the mulberry fields in summer to prepare for raising autumn cocoons in the second half of the year. The peak period of summer cocoons listing in Mianyang, Sichuan is coming to an end.

Entering mid-July, as the industry's off-season atmosphere deepened, the overall consumer market remained sluggish, showing obvious off-season characteristics. There are no significant signs of recovery on the demand side. At present, traders mainly wait and see, and the market outlook remains light. From the perspective of the textile industry, the total national retail sales of shoes, hats, and knitting textiles from January to June was 512 billion yuan, a decrease of 19.6% over the same period. In terms of exports, according to the latest statistics from the General Administration of Customs of China, from January to June, the cumulative export value of China's textile and apparel was $125.188 billion, an increase of 3.16% year-on-year, of which the cumulative export value of textiles was $74.103 billion, an increase of 27.81% year-on-year; The cumulative export value was US$51.084 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 19.39%. Since the second quarter, with the surge in the purchase of defense materials in Europe and the United States, textiles including masks have become an important support for our industry's exports.
SunSirs analysts believe that under the support of Guangxi's release of financial subsidies for raw silk pledge guarantee loans, the overall price has risen slightly. However, the lack of back-end consumption power has become the biggest pressure for the price increase of cocoon silk. Raw silk of all grades is generally sold, and the downstream price is still relatively strong. In particular, the uncertainties and unstable factors facing foreign trade development have obviously increased. The situation of foreign trade exports in the second half of the year is still complicated and severe. The cocoon and silk industry, which uses exports as the main mode of trade, will continue to operate under pressure. It is expected that the price of cocoon silk is more likely to weaken in the future.
