Cotton Comment
Cotton expectations remain strong but will be influenced by worldwide economic recovery. The market is looking at tightening U.S. and world stocks, while anticipating bigger plantings worldwide. Rally opportunities may be limited to planting time and early summer. A December close above 76 cents would suggest a retest of the contract high at 78.25 cents.
