Trump’s Visit to China Sends Positive Signals, Current Prices Remain Stable, European Market Prices Are About to Fluctuate, and Summer Holiday Is Approaching – Suggested to Stock Up in Advance to Lock in Advantages Dear Customers, In light of recent changes in the international political and economic landscape, especially the news that U.S. President Trump has announced another visit to China, which has drawn widespread global attention, it is widely expected that this move may have a potential impact on Sino‑U.S. and even global trade policies, tariff structures, and supply chain rhythms. Our company is closely monitoring market dynamics, and in light of current price trends and the latest developments in the European market, we hereby issue the following important reminders: 1. Current prices remain stable for the time being Due to earlier market adjustments and ample inventory, our product prices have entered a relatively stable phase. No significant increases or sharp fluctuations have occurred, providing customers with a rare window for procurement. 2. European market prices are “almost here” – a new round of adjustments is imminent According to recent feedback from the European supply chain, affected by exchange rate fluctuations, rising logistics costs, and anticipated changes in regional trade policies, European market prices are likely to see clear fluctuations in the short term. Quotations for several product categories are already on the verge of adjustment. “European prices are almost here” is not an empty phrase, but a reality that is about to happen. 3. Suggested to stock up in advance and lock in current stable prices Considering the potential impact of international political events on tariffs and customs clearance, along with the upcoming upward movement of European market prices, we strongly recommend that our customers: Prepare procurement plans for the next 30–60 days in advance Complete stock replenishment as soon as possible while prices remain stable Avoid cost increases caused by subsequent price adjustments or logistics congestion Our company will continue to work closely with supply chain and logistics partners to ensure that our cooperative customers receive priority shipping and price protection support during periods of price volatility. Conclusion: Trump’s visit to China brings not only international news buzz but also a “re‑synchronization” of global trade rhythms. During this relatively stable window, choosing to stock up early is how you take the initiative in response to upcoming market changes. Best regards

Severe Damage to Middle East Energy Facilities Poses Serious Challenges to Global Petrochemical Supply Chains — Customer Letter: Current Market Situation and Our Supply Assurance Commitment Dear Valued Customer, Recent severe geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East have resulted in damage to over 60 energy facilities in the Gulf region, including refineries, oil storage tanks, and petrochemical plants, due to missile and drone attacks. This is profoundly impacting global energy and chemical raw material supply chains. Impact on our industry: Raw material costs: Prices of PTA and MEG have risen by nearly 30%, with further upward pressure. Lead times: Major Middle Eastern suppliers are facing shipment delays, and some shipping lines have announced war risk surcharges. Alternative demand: Many customers who previously relied on Middle Eastern sources are urgently turning to stable Asian suppliers. ✅ Our response and commitment Facing this sudden situation, we have activated contingency plans to ensure your orders are not affected: Sufficient safety stock We have established a 2–3 month buffer stock of core raw materials at major domestic ports, covering existing customer orders. Even if Middle Eastern supply is interrupted, we can still ship as normal. Diversified procurement network Beyond the Middle East, we have backup sources from Southeast Asia, the Americas, and high-quality domestic suppliers. We have already switched some orders to stable sources to keep prices and lead times relatively可控. Flexible logistics solutions We work closely with multiple shipping lines and can choose alternative routes (e.g., via the Cape of Good Hope or the China-Europe Railway) based on real-time conditions. Urgent orders can be arranged by air freight to minimize delays. Transparent communication For all active orders, we will provide daily shipping status updates. If any potential supply risk arises, we will notify you at least 7 days in advance and work together on alternative solutions.

Recently, the core geopolitical confrontation in the Middle East has simultaneously eased.The fluctuation range of textile raw material prices has significantly narrowed, and the market trend is stable and positive. At present, it is the golden node for bulk stocking, finalizing spring and summer, and connecting autumn and winter textile orders. There is still a slight probability of fluctuation in the subsequent situation. It is recommended that partners with urgent yarn procurement needs lock in inventory in advance, finalize cooperation schedules, and avoid potential risks such as repeated geopolitical situations, logistics price increases, and tight production capacity orders. Supported by a stable and favorable situation, with limited availability of goods, customers who are interested in conducting sample verification and negotiating bulk procurement cooperation can contact us at any time to provide quotes and confirm delivery dates, efficiently locking in high-quality goods and offering preferential cooperation.

As the negotiations between the United States and Iran in Islamabad ended without success on April 12th, US President Trump immediately announced that the US Navy would impose a maritime blockade on the Strait of Hormuz to prevent any ships from entering or leaving the strait. The Iranian military also responded forcefully, declaring that the strait was under complete control. This escalation of the situation means that about one-fifth of the global maritime oil transportation and a large amount of raw material trade will face a serious risk of disruption.  As the textile industry is highly dependent on petroleum and chemical raw materials, it is the first to be affected. The prices of chemical fiber raw materials such as polyester fibers, nylon, and acrylic are rising rapidly along with the soaring international oil prices. The panic over supply chain disruptions has begun to spread across the global textile market. Some textile enterprises have suffered the painful lesson of having 9 containers stranded in the Arabian Gulf and being forced to pay war surcharges. .  How significant is the impact? Shipping costs have skyrocketed, raw materials have risen, and the delivery of yarn is in doubt. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has led to the suspension or adjustment of Middle East routes by major shipping companies such as Maersk, resulting in a weekly increase of over 70% in the Persian Gulf route of the Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI). Although alternative routes around the Cape of Good Hope can ensure safety, they will increase the transportation time by at least 10 to 14 days, and combined with the rising fuel costs, the overall logistics costs have sharply increased.  Meanwhile, the sharp increase in oil prices has an impact on the entire supply chain of the textile industry:  Direct price increase of chemical fiber raw materials: The costs of synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers have risen in tandem with the price of crude oil.  Ready-to-wear brands are facing pressure to increase prices: Global clothing retailers such as Gap and Carter’s have already felt the cost pressure caused by the tight supply chain;  Order delivery delay risk: If the shipping schedule cannot be guaranteed, the garment orders may be delayed by several weeks or even several months.  In the current situation where "even a single container is hard to obtain and even a single box is hard to secure", what customers are most concerned about is not a slight increase in price, but the extremely long delivery time.  ?? RUNTEKS latest announcement: We have already secured alternative shipping routes in advance, ensuring the delivery date is safe and worry-free. In the face of the global supply chain crisis caused by the of the Strait of Hormuz, we have taken the lead in activating the emergency plan to ensure that every order can be delivered on time, safely and efficiently.  "All alternative transportation opt...

Fed policy "sharp turn": No rate cut, imminent rate hike! RUNTEKS Group enterprises urgently remind: Please lock in order prices as soon as possible To dear customers and partners: In March, the global financial market experienced a "sharp turn" in expectations. Just when the market was expecting the Fed to start a rate-cutting cycle within this year, the situation completely reversed due to persistent inflation, strong employment data, and the soaring energy prices triggered by the geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East. The Fed not only significantly lowered its expectations for rate cuts but also re-released hawkish signals indicating that it might restart rate hikes if inflation expectations get out of control. This policy shift directly pushed the US dollar index to break through the 100 mark, putting pressure on the RMB exchange rate while also transmitting a new round of cost pressure to the global textile industry supply chain. As your long-term partner, we hereby issue an urgent reminder: Please closely monitor the exchange rate and raw material price trends and lock in order prices as soon as possible to avoid the upcoming cost increase risks. 01 What happened? - Fed policy "sharp turn" Just three months ago, the market was generally betting that the Fed would carry out at least three rate cuts in 2026. However, a series of data and events have changed this expectation: Persistent inflation: The core inflation in the United States has remained above expectations for several consecutive months, making the "last mile" of falling back to the 2% target extremely difficult; Energy shock: The escalation of the situation in the Middle East, with international oil prices reaching $100 per barrel, further pushed up global inflation expectations; Fed shift: Several Fed officials released hawkish signals, clearly stating that if inflation expectations get out of control, it may not rule out restarting rate hikes. This "sharp turn" directly led to the US dollar index surging from 97.5 in early March to the current 100.19, setting a new high for the year. 02 What does it mean for textile exports? - Dual pressures are approaching Pressure 1: The exchange rate window is narrowing Although a stronger dollar seems beneficial for export businesses with dollar-denominated settlements, the current dollar rise is driven by both risk aversion and rate hike expectations, with extremely high volatility. The RMB exchange rate is fluctuating around 6.91, and its future trend is highly uncertain. Once the Fed raises rates, the dollar may further strengthen, but it may also sharply reverse due to economic slowdown later. For buyers: The current exchange rate window may be a relatively favorable opportunity in the coming period. Delaying the order means that future procurement costs may be higher. Pressure 2: Raw material costs have already risen The core driving force behind this dollar strengthening is the geopolitical conflict and energy price increase. This ...

Affected by the continuous deterioration of the situation in the Middle East, the global shipping market is experiencing a new round of severe fluctuations. The previously stable key routes have been forced to divert, freight rates have skyrocketed to many times, costs have skyrocketed, and some goods have even been "dumped" midway. The current market has shown a nearly disorderly state. To hedge potential risks, shipping companies constantly adjust their routes, tighten their contractual obligations, and impose various additional fees, which to some extent exacerbates the cost pressure and operational uncertainty on the shipper's end. The global shipping market is experiencing a deep imbalance, from skyrocketing freight rates, to container dumping midway, and then to the transfer of costs layer by layer. Before the situation in the Middle East becomes clear, this state of "disorderly operation" may continue, and ultimately the shippers and end consumers in the supply chain will bear the costs and risks.
