Market Struggles Between Fundamentals

The cotton market finished slightly lower amid positive sales and exports numbers versus the winding down of the spot December contract. Weekly sales, although not a marketing-year-high as last week’s data showed, were, nonetheless, above 227,000 contracts.

The latter point relates to the necessary melt in spot December’s open interest. Thursday morning that amour was less than 8,000 contracts, so there were a lot of straight fixations and/or rolls to the March or other deferred months.
