Rising trend was seen on the cotton market on Saturday as official spot rate was up, dealers said. The Karachi Cotton Association (KCA) official spot rate gained Rs 25 to Rs 2450, without upcountry expenses. The Phutti prices in Sindh and Punjab quoted upward at Rs 1200-1300, dealers said.
Market sources said that the price moved further up on rising demand by the mills on fears of short supply position. The ginners were raising the asking prices despite the fact that they have enough stock. It's a fact the spinners were covering the short-term position as some of them were anticipating the ginners may adopt tough stance over the prices.
