Cotton futures rise Friday, with Oct up 96 points and Dec up 133 points
AI Market Summary
Cotton futures rallied across key forward months as supportive macro inputs (firmer crude, softer USD) coincided with strong U.S. export demand metrics. Accumulated 2025/26 export business is tracking at 107% of USDA's projection, while new-crop commitments are up 25% y/y. Tightening ICE certified stocks and a higher adjusted world price reinforce near-term supply/demand tightness and underpin price strength.
