Cotton is higher on USDA s/d report.


Cotton futures were steady ahead of today’s USDA supply/demand report. The report is slightly friendly to cotton prices in that USDA made small reduction to world ending stocks and to US ending stocks.

For the US, they left beginning stocks unchanged, reduced production to 17.26 million bales, down 190,000 bales. Left domestic use unchanged and increased exports to 11.8 million bales, up 200,000 bales. This reduced US ending stocks by 400,000 bales.
  • The US Dollar Index is down 22 points at 80.25.
  • Crude oil is up 67 cents at $86.23.
  • January soybeans are up 5 cents at $14.79 ¾. The USDA report for soybeans was neutral.
  • March corn is down 1 ½ cents at $7.28. The report for corn was slightly bearish.
