Cotton Suffered Big Loss Last Week
Dealings in cotton last week saw widening gaps between new and old crop months as distant options slid up to 2 per bale while near contracts fell less. Futures trended down after a court ruling voiding processing taxes and AAA uncertainty, with weather improving forecasts. The week ended with NY prices down about 55 to 95 cents per bale and regional declines, as traders await the August 8 government crop estimate and potential collateral loan implications.
