• U.S. Export sales were strong, but shipments were lagging behind, making it difficult to meet the target of 12.3 million bales set by the USDA.
• The U.S. new crop prediction is expected to be 16 million bales, marking an increase of 3.9 million bales compared to the current season.
• In the Indian physical market, prices remained within the range of 56,500 to 57,500 throughout the month.
• As this month was dominated by sales offers from basis players, merchants were able to sell a significant quantity through forward sales to Indian mills.
• Indian mills faced some challenges in selling yarn due to the higher basis of Indian cotton.
• There was a notable trade for imported cotton in South India when NY futures were at lower levels.
• Overall, this month proved to be profitable for basis players, with most of the trading occurring in a downward trend.
• Next month, the monsoon is expected to progress towards all cotton-growing areas, with the IMD predicting a good and timely monsoon.
• Let's hope for the best.
