Cotton market faces smaller U.S. crop risks and price drift
Dr. Carl Anderson notes crop yields are underperforming and could shrink total output. Despite large imports and sluggish exports keeping December futures in the mid 70s, resistance sits near 78 to 80 cents with support around 72. Domestic use and exports shape a 16.5 to 17.0 million bale use range, carryover rising to 3.6 million. Acreage and yield uncertainties imply 1997 futures may rise with downsizing, urging farmers toward diversification, risk management, and forward contracting.
