Renewed Selling Pressure On Cotton Market

Renewed selling pressure pushed cotton prices lower when trading resumed on Tuesday.

Higher phutti (seed cotton) arrival, coupled with falling prices in world cotton markets, adversely affected sentiment.

Though buying interest was shown by spinners, they restricted their activity to short term demand on anticipation that cotton prices would move lower the world over on higher production and lesser demand.

Floor brokers said phutti arrival gained momentum, but restricted demand from spinners and exporters is keeping cotton prices under pressure.

According to reports, presently leading cotton producing countries are faced with higher supplies of cotton and prices continue to remain under pressure. Besides, cotton yarn market is also showing lethargy as takeoff for yarn from weaving sector is slow.

The world cotton markets mostly closed easy where New York cotton moved lower for all future contracts.

The Karachi Cotton Association (KCA) spot rates were unchanged and trading on ready counter was fairly brisk as needy mills kept purchasing their near future demand.
