Xinjiang cotton prices stayed firm, offers of machine-picked cotton with both length and strength 28 were at 15,600yuan/mt rough weight, ex-works in Xinjiang. Hubei cotton quality was lame this year, as color grade, length and strength were dull. Cottons were processed and sold to local mills at 12,800-13,000yuan/mt.
ICE cotton futures trended up, but “non-on-call” cotton contract contradictions still existed. Some mills which purchased “non-on-call” cotton tended to hold on due to the high prices.
Indian spot cotton rate stayed at Rs. 41,000 per Candy (equal to about 11,776yuan/mt) and Karachi official spot rate stayed at 7,000 per maund (about 11,068yuan/mt).
