Cotton Futures at 2-Month Lows
Cotton futures fell toward 63 cents per pound, nearing the lowest since November last year, amid easing geopolitical tensions while traders evaluated the demand and supply dynamics. Losses were partly cushioned by a weaker dollar. A delayed USDA weekly export sales report showed 412,457 RB of cotton sold in the week ending on January 15, a marketing year high, representing a 21% increase from the previous week and a notable rise compared with the prior 4-week average. On the supply side, an approaching winter storm in the US raised fears of output disruptions. Meanwhile, the Cotton Association of India (CAI) recently raised the country's cotton crop production estimate for October-September 2025-26 by 2.5% to 317 lakh bales, following reports of higher production in Maharashtra, Telangana and Karnataka.
