COTTON
General Comments: Futures were lower in light volume trading on ideas
that the Chinese demand reported by USDA in the weekly export sales
report was a one time event. Traders note that China has huge stocks and
will probably be more interested in reducing this volume than to adding
to it with more imports. The world supply and demand report
fundamentals still show that plenty of Cotton should be available to
users here and around the world, and that USDA thinks that strong
production and big supplies will be seen around the world through the
next crop year. Traders are watching India and Pakistan where the
monsoon has not been good until recently. The monsoon has been better
lately, with beneficial rains noted in production areas of both
countries. It is still too wet in many Chinese production areas, and
rains in northern areas expected this weekend could hurt quality.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast should see some showers today
and
tomorrow. Dry weather returns for the rest of the week. Temperatures
will average near to below normal. Texas will get mostly dry weather.
Temperatures will average near to above normal. The USDA spot price is
now 70.13 ct/lb. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.017
million bales, from 0.017 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in
Cotton are mixed. Support is at 74.05, 73.65, and 73.35 October, with
resistance of 76.00, 76.50, and 77.00 October.

General Comments: Futures were a little higher on follow through buying
from better than expected export sales in the weekly report from USDA
and on US Dollar weakness from the FED moves of last week. China was a
noted buyer in the reports last week, good news for the demand side of
the market. However, the bullish effects could be only for the short
term. The world supply and demand report fundamentals still show that
plenty of Cotton should be available to users here and around the world,
and that USDA thinks that strong production and big supplies will be
seen around the world through the next crop year. Traders are also
worried about demand, and especially demand from China as its economy
continues to show weakness. Traders are watching India and Pakistan
where the monsoon has n
ot been good until
recently. The monsoon has been better lately, with beneficial rains
noted in production areas of both countries. It is still too wet in many
Chinese production areas, and rains in northern areas expected this
weekend could hurt quality.
Overnight News: The Delta and Southeast
should see some showers today and tomorrow. Dry weather returns for the
rest of the week. Temperatures will average near to below normal. Texas
will get mostly dry weather. Temperatures will average near to above
normal. The USDA spot price is now 71.39 ct/lb. ICE said that certified
Cotton stocks are now 0.017 million bales, from 0.017 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are down with objectives of 7280 and
7130 October. Support is at 72.30, 71.20, and 70.50 October, with
resistance of 74.10, 74.30, and 75.40 October.
