Market Movement from 03rd Jun 2024 to 08th Jun 2024.

  •  
  • NY July continues to experience weekly losses due to bearish fundamentals. Improved crop progress and lower shipments have intensified the bearish sentiment. NY July closed with a 231 points weekly loss, while NY December closed with a 222 points weekly loss. The July-December inverse widened to 95 points.
  • The July options have now expired, making December the front month. December has plenty of time left to trade.
  • In the latest U. S. Export Sales Report for the week ending 30-May-2024, U.S. export sales reported net upland sales of 138,700 bales and upland shipments of 157,000 bales for the 2023-2024 marketing year. Net Pima sales reached 2,000 bales, with shipments totaling 8,100 bales. Combined, total sales for the 2023-2024 period amounted to 140,700 bales. For the 2024-2025 marketing year, net upland sales were 54,100 bales, with no net Pima sales reported, making the total for the upcoming year 54,100 bales.

  • With slower than required arrivals to meet demand, the Indian physical market has shown stability and remains around the 56,000 Rs per candy level.
  • Merchants are offering the new crop forward at nearly 57,000 due to the higher basis.
  • The Indian basis is higher between 10.36 to 13.07.
