Good trading was seen on the cotton market on Wednesday as mills and exporters continued forward buying, dealers said. The official spot rate was unchanged at Rs 4100, they said. Phutti prices in Sindh were unchanged at Rs 1900-1925 for the third session and in Punjab, the rates were also same at Rs 1800-1900, they said.
According to the market sources, fresh arrival of phuitt pushed the rates lower slightly and it is expected that the prices would show softness in the near future. On the other hand ginners were trying to dispose off all the unsold stock, they added.
The exporters were making deals but in small volume apparently because of slight fluctuations in the dollar rates, they said. On Tuesday, the NY cotton futures finished softer on investment fund liquidation and tumbling commodity markets, with analysts saying the glum mood may lead to further losses this week. Key December cotton futures fell 1.32 cents to finish at 64.28 cents per lb.
Based on the weekly second position daily charts, it was the lowest close for cotton since late in 2007. The contract traded from 63.90 to 65.82 cents. Volume traded in the December contract stood at 15,563 lots at 2:38 pm (1838 GMT).
