World cotton carryover forecast and price outlook
Carryover at July close shows about 9,903,000 bales versus 6,086,000 last year and 6,844,000 year before. Despite this, lower values, reduced acreage by about 30 percent, and inferior fertilizer suggest a yield about 4,000,000 bales smaller than last season. Forecasts indicate similar next season supply near 19,886,000 bales with potential price gains if weather stays favorable and demand improves as world markets normalize.
