In October, NY December future gradually declined from 74 cents to 70 cents. Although there were attempts to rebound due to some positive news, these gains were not sustained.
Slow export sales, shipment delays, challenging macroeconomic conditions, and sluggish demand are the main reasons for the market downturn. However, some support has emerged around the 70-cent level.
With limited time remaining until December call expiry, the volume of call purchases now significantly outweighs call sales. This imbalance could put pressure on the market.
US export sales and shipments have been low, but we expect an acceleration in growth next month.
The Indian physical market also saw a declining trend throughout the month. It started off stable, but after the withdrawal of the monsoon, the price decline accelerated faster than expected.
Mill buying was slow, which put pressure on the rate.
Crop conditions are favorable across all cotton-growing areas. Although some damage occurred due to recent rain, the trade anticipates that it will be offset by a good yield.
The basis for Indian exports remains too high to achieve export parity. Due to the high basis, some mills have opted to book large quantities of imports instead.
The basis in India remains between 11.64 cents and 15.55 cents.
May the new year bring renewed hope and prosperity to the entire cotton value chain.
