I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the freshest updates on cotton markets, straight from the mandis and global futures, so you can stay ahead whether you're a farmer, trader, or just love tracking commodities.Let's kick off with prices in Maharashtra, India, where NaPanta reports the average cotton price sitting at 7,260 rupees per quintal as of late March, with highs reaching 7,900 rupees in spots like Yavatmal's Jagdamba Agrocare and lows around 6,000 rupees in Nagpur markets. That's about 72.6 rupees per kilo or 72,600 per ton for bigger buyers. These steady levels show resilient demand despite seasonal dips, perfect for planning your next move.Over in Pakistan, Business Recorder notes spot cotton in Sindh and Punjab trading between 19,500 and 21,000 rupees per maund for remaining stocks, while futures for the 2026-27 crop kicked off strong at 10,000 rupees for 40 kilos of phutti and 21,000 for ginned cotton. Traders are buzzing about partial trading resuming amid some FIA policy pushback.Globally, Hurley and Associates pegs U.S. cotton futures like SDH28 at 36.50 cents per pound today, within a tight 52-week range from 34 to 36.50 cents. StoneX adds a bullish vibe on CTEN26 contracts, targeting 85.86 with strong technicals.Key takeaway? Prices are holding firm with upward bias in futures, so if you're buying, eye Maharashtra lows for value or Pakistan futures for growth plays.

https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipaiThis is your Cotton podcast.Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Cotton Price Tracker. I'm your host Vanessa Clark, and we've got some exciting developments to break down in the cotton market today.Cotton is absolutely surging right now. As of yesterday, we hit 81.82 dollars per pound, marking the highest price we've seen in 23 months. That's a significant milestone for anyone tracking this commodity. Over the past four weeks alone, cotton has climbed 16.76 percent, and if you look at the bigger picture over the last year, we're up a solid 24.74 percent. This isn't just a small bump. This is real momentum.Looking at the futures market, July cotton futures rose the limit up to 82.20 cents per pound yesterday and hit a contract high. May futures also showed strong gains, moving up 552 points. Traders are showing heavy technical buying interest, and prices are trending strongly higher across the board.What's driving all this? Several factors are working together. First, we're seeing elevated oil prices, which increase polyester production costs and naturally support cotton prices as a competing fiber. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and stalled US-Iran peace talks are keeping crude oil elevated. Additionally, dry weather conditions in Texas are adding supply concerns to the mix.The export numbers are also telling a bullish story. According to the USDA Export Sales report from Thursday, 162,879 running bales of cotton sold for the 2025-26 marketing year in the week of April 23rd. That was a three-week high and 56.61 percent above the same week last year. Shipments hit a five-week high at 384,608 running bales.Now, it's worth noting that we did see some profit-taking and a stronger US dollar create slight downward pressure at one point, with the July contract settling at 79.20 cents per pound. But the overall trend remains decisively higher, and market analysts are watching for continued support from weather risks and geopolitical developments.For anyone invested in cotton or following commodity markets, this is definitely a period worth monitoring closely. The fundamentals are supportive, and the technical picture shows strong bullish momentum.Thanks so much for tuning in to Daily Cotton Price Tracker.

https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipaiThis is your Cotton podcast.Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the freshest cotton market updates to keep you ahead of the curve on cotton prices, trends, and what it all means for traders and growers.Let's start with the numbers you care about most. As of the end of trading on April 28th, cotton futures closed at 79.67 cents per pound, according to StockInvest.us data on the CTUSX commodity. That's a solid move up, breaking out of that long range-bound zone between 66 to 70 cents that we've been stuck in for ages. Cotton Grower magazine's Shurley report nails it: prices have surged past 80 cents on December futures, grabbing everyone's attention without turning into a runaway train just yet.Spot market action backs this up too. The Seam reported 2,800 bales sold on April 27th at an average of 73.91 cents per pound, while the Cotlook A Index held steady at 89.35 cents, per TradingView and Cotlook updates. Technically, cotton's in a weak rising short-term trend, with analysts forecasting a potential 3.65 percent climb over the next three months, targeting 68.79 to 73.38 cents with 90 percent probability. Support sits around 67.55 cents, and resistance near 68.37 cents, making it a hold for now rather than a full buy signal.What's driving this? Steady demand signals and controlled volatility, keeping risk low. If you're trading, watch that stop-loss at about 65.44 cents and eye buying opportunities near support levels.Key takeaway: Cotton's heating up, so stay nimble, track those Dec futures, and position smartly for the upside.

I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the freshest updates on cotton prices, market moves, and what it all means for growers, traders, and buyers.Right now, the most active cotton futures are showing some downward pressure in early trading. According to Farm Progress market data, the December 2025 CME Cotton number two contract is at 0.6823 cents per pound, down 0.0048 from the previous close, while the July 2026 contract sits at 0.7146, also off by 0.0045. Over on ICE futures, Fibre2Fashion reports the July 2026 contract recently settled at 79.36 cents per pound after gains fueled by a weaker US dollar and drought worries in West Texas, though it's dipped slightly to 79.19 this morning. Cash cotton is holding steadier at 76.58 cents, up a bit.Planting is off to a strong start too, with NASS Crop Progress showing 16 percent of the US cotton crop in the ground as of April 26, beating the five-year average of 13 percent. That's good news amid those Texas drought concerns boosting prices earlier. Speculators are piling in, with CFTC data noting a jump in net long positions, and higher crude oil costs are making cotton more competitive against polyester.Looking ahead, analysts see a short-term rising trend, with potential for three-point-six-five percent gains over the next three months, targeting between 68.79 and 73.38 cents. The overall market's pegged to hit 44.3 billion dollars in 2026, growing steadily thanks to Asia-Pacific demand and sustainable farming pushes.Traders, keep an eye on support at 67.55 cents and resistance near 68.37, with today's range possibly plus or minus 0.95 percent. Whether you're hedging acres or watching textiles, stay nimble with these weather and dollar swings.Thanks for tuning in, friends.
