    Cotton Hits 23-Month Peak as Texas Drought and Export Surge Fuel 16 Percent Rally

    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai This is your Cotton podcast. Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Cotton Price Tracker. I'm your host Vanessa Clark, and we've got some exciting developments to break down in the cotton market today. Cotton is absolutely surging right now. As of yesterday, we hit 81.82 dollars per pound, marking the highest price we've seen in 23 months. That's a significant milestone for anyone tracking this commodity. Over the past four weeks alone, cotton has climbed 16.76 percent, and if you look at the bigger picture over the last year, we're up a solid 24.74 percent. This isn't just a small bump. This is real momentum. Looking at the futures market, July cotton futures rose the limit up to 82.20 cents per pound yesterday and hit a contract high. May futures also showed strong gains, moving up 552 points. Traders are showing heavy technical buying interest, and prices are trending strongly higher across the board. What's driving all this? Several factors are working together. First, we're seeing elevated oil prices, which increase polyester production costs and naturally support cotton prices as a competing fiber. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and stalled US-Iran peace talks are keeping crude oil elevated. Additionally, dry weather conditions in Texas are adding supply concerns to the mix. The export numbers are also telling a bullish story. According to the USDA Export Sales report from Thursday, 162,879 running bales of cotton sold for the 2025-26 marketing year in the week of April 23rd. That was a three-week high and 56.61 percent above the same week last year. Shipments hit a five-week high at 384,608 running bales. Now, it's worth noting that we did see some profit-taking and a stronger US dollar create slight downward pressure at one point, with the July contract settling at 79.20 cents per pound. But the overall trend remains decisively higher, and market analysts are watching for continued support from weather risks and geopolitical developments. For anyone invested in cotton or following commodity markets, this is definitely a period worth monitoring closely. The fundamentals are supportive, and the technical picture shows strong bullish momentum. Thanks so much for tuning in to Daily Cotton Price Tracker.

    Cotton Breaks 80: Vanessa Clark on Why December Futures Just Left the 66-70 Cent Doldrums Behind

    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai This is your Cotton podcast. Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the freshest cotton market updates to keep you ahead of the curve on cotton prices, trends, and what it all means for traders and growers. Let's start with the numbers you care about most. As of the end of trading on April 28th, cotton futures closed at 79.67 cents per pound, according to StockInvest.us data on the CTUSX commodity. That's a solid move up, breaking out of that long range-bound zone between 66 to 70 cents that we've been stuck in for ages. Cotton Grower magazine's Shurley report nails it: prices have surged past 80 cents on December futures, grabbing everyone's attention without turning into a runaway train just yet. Spot market action backs this up too. The Seam reported 2,800 bales sold on April 27th at an average of 73.91 cents per pound, while the Cotlook A Index held steady at 89.35 cents, per TradingView and Cotlook updates. Technically, cotton's in a weak rising short-term trend, with analysts forecasting a potential 3.65 percent climb over the next three months, targeting 68.79 to 73.38 cents with 90 percent probability. Support sits around 67.55 cents, and resistance near 68.37 cents, making it a hold for now rather than a full buy signal. What's driving this? Steady demand signals and controlled volatility, keeping risk low. If you're trading, watch that stop-loss at about 65.44 cents and eye buying opportunities near support levels. Key takeaway: Cotton's heating up, so stay nimble, track those Dec futures, and position smartly for the upside. Thanks for tuning in, friends.

    Cotton Futures Dip as Texas Drought and Dollar Swings Keep Traders on Edge

    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai This is your Cotton podcast. Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the freshest updates on cotton prices, market moves, and what it all means for growers, traders, and buyers. Right now, the most active cotton futures are showing some downward pressure in early trading. According to Farm Progress market data, the December 2025 CME Cotton number two contract is at 0.6823 cents per pound, down 0.0048 from the previous close, while the July 2026 contract sits at 0.7146, also off by 0.0045. Over on ICE futures, Fibre2Fashion reports the July 2026 contract recently settled at 79.36 cents per pound after gains fueled by a weaker US dollar and drought worries in West Texas, though it's dipped slightly to 79.19 this morning. Cash cotton is holding steadier at 76.58 cents, up a bit. Planting is off to a strong start too, with NASS Crop Progress showing 16 percent of the US cotton crop in the ground as of April 26, beating the five-year average of 13 percent. That's good news amid those Texas drought concerns boosting prices earlier. Speculators are piling in, with CFTC data noting a jump in net long positions, and higher crude oil costs are making cotton more competitive against polyester. Looking ahead, analysts see a short-term rising trend, with potential for three-point-six-five percent gains over the next three months, targeting between 68.79 and 73.38 cents. The overall market's pegged to hit 44.3 billion dollars in 2026, growing steadily thanks to Asia-Pacific demand and sustainable farming pushes. Traders, keep an eye on support at 67.55 cents and resistance near 68.37, with today's range possibly plus or minus 0.95 percent. Whether you're hedging acres or watching textiles, stay nimble with these weather and dollar swings. Thanks for tuning in, friends.

    Cotton Hits Ten-Month High as Oil Prices Boost Fiber Appeal Despite Softening Exports

    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai This is your Cotton podcast. Hello and welcome back to Daily Cotton Price Tracker, I'm your host Vanessa Clark, and today we're diving into what's happening in the cotton market as we head into the final stretch of April. Cotton futures are trading around 80 cents per pound right now, which is the highest we've seen since May of 2024. That's a significant milestone for the market, and there are some really interesting factors driving this rally. The main story here is that elevated oil prices are playing a huge role in supporting cotton prices. When crude oil costs go up, it becomes more expensive to produce polyester, and that makes cotton look like a much more attractive alternative fiber for manufacturers. It's a fascinating dynamic where energy markets directly impact what we're seeing in cotton trading. We're also looking at some supply-side concerns that are keeping prices elevated. There's persistent drought risk across key US growing regions, particularly in West Texas. That said, conditions have improved in the Delta and Southeast, so it's not all doom and gloom on the domestic front. But here's where things get interesting on the demand side. Export sales have been softening. The latest USDA weekly export sales report showed net sales of Upland cotton totaling 119,900 running bales for the 2025-26 season, which is down 26 percent from the previous week and 55 percent below the four-week average. That's a pretty significant drop in demand momentum. So we've got this interesting tension in the market right now between supply concerns that are supporting prices and weakening demand signals that are creating some headwinds. The cotton market is essentially consolidating as traders weigh these competing factors. The geopolitical landscape is also playing a role here, with ongoing Middle East disruptions and stalled US-Iran peace talks keeping energy markets elevated and therefore supporting cotton as an alternative to synthetic fibers. If you're following cotton for trading, investing, or just general market interest, this is definitely a time to keep your eyes on both energy prices and export sales data. Those two factors are really going to dictate where we head from here. Thanks so much for tuning in to Daily Cotton Price Tracker.

    Cotton Holds Steady as New Season Brings Hope and Drought Worries to Maharashtra Markets

    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai This is your Cotton podcast. Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Cotton Price Tracker. I'm your host Vanessa Clark, and I'm so glad you're here with me today to break down what's happening in the cotton markets right now. Let's dive right into the latest pricing data. According to the Agricultural Market Committee, cotton in the Sindi Selu market in Maharashtra is trading at 402.50 rupees for five kilograms. This gives us a solid snapshot of what's moving in the Indian cotton markets as we head into the week. Over in the futures markets, things have been pretty interesting. New York cotton futures have been climbing between 78 and 82 US cents per pound before pulling back to settle in the 76 to 80 cent range. That's a pretty tight trading band, which tells us the market is staying relatively stable right now. Meanwhile, the Karachi cotton market is showing similar patterns with muted trading activity, which means we're not seeing huge swings in either direction at the moment. What's really important for you to understand is that we're heading into a new cotton season, and there's a lot of optimism mixed with some caution in the industry. Cotton growers are looking ahead to new funding and policy initiatives that they hope will help lift the entire industry. But we also need to keep an eye on some headwinds. Drought conditions and the pressure of lower prices are concerns that farmers are watching closely as they gear up for planting and production. The stability we're seeing in the markets right now is actually pretty healthy for planning purposes. Farmers and traders can get a clearer picture of where things stand without the volatility that can sometimes throw everyone off balance. So here's what I want you to take away from today's episode. Cotton prices are holding steady across major markets, with futures trading in a predictable range and spot prices reflecting agricultural fundamentals. Keep watching for any shifts as we move deeper into the growing season, because that's when things could start to move more significantly. Thanks so much for tuning in to Daily Cotton Price Tracker.

    Cotton Rallies to 79 Cents as Drought Grips Fields and Chinese Imports Surge 42 Percent

    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai This is your Cotton podcast. Hey everyone, welcome to the Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the latest buzz on cotton prices, imports, and what it all means for the market. Right now, cotton futures are showing real strength. According to Barchart and TradingView reports, May cotton closed at 76.8 cents per pound, up 47 points, while July hit 79.45 cents per pound, gaining 81 points on Thursday. That's a solid rebound after a pullback from near two-year highs, driven by higher crude oil prices around 97 dollars a barrel and ongoing drought hitting 97 percent of US growing areas. SunSirs benchmark pegs Chinese Grade 3128 cotton at 18,225 RMB per ton as of April 24th, up 1.36 percent from early April and over 5 percent since January. Cotton yarn's right there too at 24,500 RMB per ton. What's fueling this? Surging imports into China hit 289,000 tons in March alone, up 42.8 percent month-over-month and 29.4 percent year-over-year, per Customs data from SunSirs. That's flooding the market but paired with recovering demand and cost pressures from the supply chain. Globally, Middle East tensions are spiking energy costs, pressuring polyester rivals and giving cotton an edge, as noted by RFD-TV and Fibre2Fashion. US export sales dipped to 119,947 running bales last week, with Vietnam leading buys, but shipments are picking up. Looking ahead, watch for weather shifts in the Delta and Southeast, plus any Iran blockade ripples on oil. Trends are up, with resistance at 80 cents, but profit-taking could test support around 73-75 cents. Traders, if you're positioning, consider hedging with these volatility spikes. Farmers, that drought rally might stick if rains stay away. Stay tuned for more updates. Thanks for joining me on Daily Cotton Price Tracker. Subscribe, tune in next time, and have a great day!

    Cotton Prices Cool After Two-Year High as Dollar Strengthens and Weather Watches Continue

    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai This is your Cotton podcast. Hey everyone, welcome back to the Daily Cotton Price Tracker with your host Vanessa Clark. Today we're diving into the latest buzz on cotton prices, futures, and what it all means for traders and growers tuning in. Cotton futures took a step back yesterday after hitting a fresh two-year high earlier in the session. According to Barchart, contracts fell 135 to 225 points across the front months, with the US dollar index edging up to 98.430 putting some pressure on prices.

That's a retreat from those peaks, signaling a potential market top with a bearish technical reversal on the daily charts. On the fundamentals side, Price Group notes trends remain up overall, supported by dry conditions in key growing areas like Brazil, though isolated showers are in the forecast. The Cotlook A Index climbed to 89.45 cents, ICE certified stocks sit at 165,860 bales, and the Adjusted World Price rose to 61.61 cents per pound last week. Seam sales hit 905 bales at 74.69 cents per pound on April 21st. USDA's eyeing lower global production due to reduced planted acres and yields. Support levels for May cotton are at 73.60, 72.70, and 72.00 cents, with resistance up to 80.00 cents. Keep an eye on weather and the dollar – they could swing things fast.
