Cost impact

In curtains and home textiles most of the cost comes from yarn, fabric and the exchange rate. These four series show which way it is moving while you price a bid.

Cotton

Carries the yarn cost of sheers and cotton drapery fabrics directly.

Polyester

The dominant fibre in blackout, screen and upholstery blends; when the index rises, fabric prices follow with a lag.

FX

Immediately affects imported yarn, mechanisms and motors; it sets the margin on export bids.

Timing

Monthly series (PPI) lag, daily series (FX, ICE) are instant — they must be read together.


Sources & method
