Cotton continues to consolidate lower as we slowly uncover demand scale down. We are seeing mills starting to cover for April May shipment on this correction and placing scale down orders to fix on call sales.

Volume remains low as cert stocks continue to grow and the market tests the 78.50 level. The board is getting flatter as we are now over 700k cert stocks including the awaiting review.
