U.S. Cotton
This week’s Export Report was down 32% from the previous week, but, was still viewed positively, especially on strong shipments, with Current Crop showing net sales of 176,900 bales (Upland: 169,100 bs, Pima: 7,800 bs)
Most LS / ELS growths follow Pima price pattern and most analysts feel Pima prices would continue to move, despite slowing demand.
This month’s 2020/21 U.S. cotton forecasts show lower production, consumption, and ending stocks relative to last month.
Production is reduced 250,000 bales to 14.7 million, competing crops have enjoyed relatively higher prices, so traders are expecting acres will fall for cotton.
Ending stocks are 100,000 bales lower this month at 4.2 million bales.
