ICE cotton futures dipped on Tuesday after sharp losses the prior session amid uncertainty over whether recent rains in Texas, the top-growing US state, would ultimately be harmful or beneficial to the crop. "Nobody knows how many acres are going to be lost and whether the remaining acres will make up for it. Everybody's still in that guessing game," said Peter Egli, director of risk management at British merchant Plexus Cotton Ltd.
