• NY futures rose sharply on Wednesday following the announcement of a 3 lakh tonne import quota from China, firm MMF prices, the “Buy American Cotton Act,” and key technical price breakouts that triggered short covering and fresh buying interest.
Is this real? In two of the past three weeks, cotton commitments have established record high marketing year weekly export sales. Additionally, the weekly On-Call report first favored stable prices, and now, three weeks later, reflects a definite, albeit modest increase in prices. This trend first played its hand three weeks ago with a, at the time, marketing year record weekly high in export sales.
Markets will be closely watching developments in the Middle East this week, with attention also turning to Wednesday’s Federal Reserve policy decision.
