Just as the 88-cent level touched last week proved to be too high for the market to maintain, it is expected that the mid70’s will prove to be too low for the new crop December contract in the coming weeks.
Expect the July contract to hold the high 70s with an occasional trip into the low 80s as textile mills must continue to fix the price of short futures contracts for cotton they previously purchased.
The new crop will remain the stronger of the two contract months as drought prospects across the Rolling Plains and High Plains are on traders’ minds.
