Cotton prices come out of the weekend with triple digit losses so far into the new week. Cotton added 116 to 182 points to the upside on Friday. That left the board under the pre-report high from Tuesday, but ended as a weekly gain of 253 points. The steep Thursday/Friday sell off in the dollar helped cotton by making US offerings a little cheaper in terms of third party currencies.Â
USDA’s weekly Cotton Market Review had 6,574 bales sold for an average price of 86.56 cents. The Cotlook A Index was up by 95 points to 103.55 cents/lb. USDA set the week’s Adjusted World Price for cotton at 76.74 cents, an 11.28 cent increase. ICE certified stocks were 880 bales on 11/9.Â
