> Cotton linter prices have stalled after rising in mid-to-late March, with producers holding firm quotes. Cottonseed oil mills are struggling to be profitable and many are semi-operating, limiting linter supply. Refined cotton M1000 is around 9,500 yuan/mt, but a weak real estate market and sluggish cellulose ether demand are capping further gains.

## Why it matters
