Cotton Futures Approach 2-Week Highs
Cotton futures rose above 77 cents per pound, approaching a two-week high, amid ongoing technical rebound, still elevated oil prices, and India’s suspension of its 11% import duty on cotton. The move, which runs until October 30, is aimed at boosting supplies of high-quality fiber for the textile industry and is expected to lift domestic purchases amidst strong global demand for yarns and textile products. Cotton is likely to be sourced from surplus exporters including Australia, Brazil, the United States, and Africa. Additional support came from strong US export sales, with USDA data showing 153,622 running bales in the latest week, up 17% from the previous week and above the four-week average. Meanwhile, the Crop Progress report showed 66% of the US cotton crop had been planted, up from 53% a week earlier and slightly ahead of 64% at the same time last year, indicating that crop development remains largely on track.
