Cotton Comment
Cotton ended the session narrowly mixed after USDA made a
smaller than expected downward adjustment in China’s production
estimate. USDA knocked 500,000 bales off their estimate, while
China’s estimate was lowered 3 million bales last week. USDA did
increase domestic use 100,000 bales, dropping projected ending
stocks at 3.2 million bales. New crop contracts worked a little
higher, with December closing at 75.49 cents. A test of
resistance at 78.25 cents is a long term possibility.
