    Cotton Forecast: Ample Supply, Soft Demand, and the Fed's Next Move

    This is your Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hello everyone and welcome back to the Daily Cotton Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. Let's dive right into what's happening in the cotton market and what you need to know heading into the weekend.

    Right now, cotton is trading around 63.92 cents per pound according to Trading Economics, which represents a slight decline from earlier in the day. The market has been showing some interesting volatility this week, and there are several factors driving these movements that are worth your attention.

    We're seeing some pressure on cotton prices due to weak export sales data. According to recent USDA reports, US export sales for the week ending October 30 came in at just 81,500 bales, which is down significantly from the previous week and well below the four-week average. This is the kind of soft demand that keeps traders cautious and prices range-bound. Many analysts are pointing to downside potential towards 63 cents as we look ahead.

    On the positive supply side, the USDA's November WASDE report raised the forecast for US cotton production by 900,000 bales to 14.1 million bales, citing higher expected yields across most states. Global cotton production was also revised upward by 2.4 million bales, with significant increases in China, the United States, and Brazil. When supplies are plentiful, that typically puts downward pressure on prices.

    Another factor to watch is the US dollar strength. A stronger dollar can make cotton more expensive for international buyers, which can dampen demand. We've also seen some equity market weakness this week, with stock performances influencing risk appetite across commodities.

    Looking ahead, the market is focused on the USDA's export sales report coming on December 8 and the more detailed WASDE report on December 9. These reports will give us clearer insight into demand trends and help shape price direction going forward. Additionally, there's an 87 percent probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut next week, and stronger economic conditions typically support textile sector demand, which could eventually boost cotton prices.

    For anyone trading cotton or thinking about it, the key takeaway is that we're in a consolidation phase. The market is digesting ample supplies and softening demand, but economic policy could shift the picture. Keep monitoring those upcoming USDA reports and watch for any changes in export data that might surprise to the upside.

  • Cotton Cents: Your Daily Dose of Fiber Market Insights

    Cotton Cents: Your Daily Dose of Fiber Market Insights
    Dec 4 2025
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipaiThis is your Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.Welcome back to the Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. This is Vanessa, and today we are diving into the latest cotton prices, what is moving the market, and what it all means if you grow cotton, trade cotton, or buy cotton for your business.Let us start with the numbers. The global benchmark for cotton futures is currently trading in the mid sixty cents per pound range, with nearby contracts drifting a bit lower today after a small bounce earlier in the week. According to Trading Economics and industry futures boards, cotton has been hovering in the low to mid sixties for the past several sessions, slipping roughly one to two percent over the last month and sitting a few percent below where it was this time last year. That puts cotton near the lower end of its recent trading range, but still far above the single digit lows seen decades ago.So what is driving today’s cotton price action. Recent market commentary from firms like Barchart and Reuters points to weaker export sales and generally soft global demand as key reasons prices are struggling to push higher. A quieter cash market, limited new buying from major importers such as China, and expectations for ample global supplies are all acting as a ceiling on cotton futures for now. At the same time, a slightly weaker United States dollar and firmer crude oil prices are giving cotton a bit of support, because a cheaper dollar makes United States cotton more attractive to overseas buyers and higher polyester costs can make natural fiber like cotton more competitive.On the supply side, recent data from the United States Department of Agriculture indicates the United States cotton harvest is largely wrapped up, with production estimates revised higher thanks to better than expected yields in several key states. Globally, output forecasts have also been nudged up in countries such as China and Brazil, which adds to the idea that the world will have comfortable supplies going into the new year. When you combine that with only modest growth in cotton consumption, it explains why prices have been stuck in this mid sixty cents per pound zone instead of breaking out to the upside.If you are a grower looking at these cotton prices, a few practical takeaways stand out. First, this kind of sideways, slightly lower market is where a disciplined marketing plan really matters. Consider scaling in your sales rather than pricing the whole crop at once, using target price levels in the upper sixties or low seventies if the market offers a short term rally. Second, talk with your merchandiser or risk manager about simple tools like forward contracts or basic hedging strategies that lock in a floor without giving up all your upside. Even small moves of a cent or two per pound add up quickly over a lot of bales.If you are a mill buyer or in the textile business, this softer cotton environment can be an opportunity. Stable to lower raw cotton prices may help you secure longer term supply contracts at attractive levels, which can improve your cost planning for yarn, fabric, and finished garments. It is also a good time to review your fiber mix, because when polyester prices rise with crude oil, cotton often becomes more appealing from both a cost and marketing standpoint, especially if your customers care about natural fibers and sustainability.For listeners who like to track cotton prices daily, remember to watch not just the front month futures contract, but also key indicators such as the Cotlook A Index and any new export sales reports from the United States Department of Agriculture. Those numbers can hint at whether international demand is picking up or slowing down, which often moves the market before the headline price fully reflects it. Keeping an eye on currency moves, especially the direction of the United States dollar, can also help you anticipate short term swings in cotton futures.That is it for today’s episode of the Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark.

  • Cotton Rollercoaster: Gains Fade, Shorts Ease, Stocks Steady

    Cotton Rollercoaster: Gains Fade, Shorts Ease, Stocks Steady
    Dec 3 2025

    This is your Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Cotton Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and I'm so glad you're here with me today. We've got some really interesting price movements to talk about, so let's jump right in.

    Cotton has been quite the rollercoaster this Wednesday, and honestly, it's a perfect example of why we need to stay on top of these markets. Here's what's happening right now. We started the morning with some positive momentum. Cotton prices were up between 10 to 17 points across most nearby contracts early this morning, which got traders pretty excited. But here's the thing about commodity markets, they can shift on a dime. As the day progressed, we saw those gains fade, and now we're looking at prices down 6 to 10 points in the nearby contracts. So that early enthusiasm didn't quite stick around.

    Let me give you the specific numbers so you know exactly where we stand. December 2025 cotton closed at 62 point 77 cents per pound, which is down 6 points from the previous close. March 2026 cotton is sitting at 64 point 47 cents per pound, down 10 points. And May 2026 is at 65 point 71 cents per pound. These are the key prices you want to be tracking if you're following this market closely.

    Now, what's driving these movements? We're seeing some interesting dynamics. First, there's the managed money traders. According to the latest Commitment of Traders data, they trimmed 98 contracts from their previous record net short position back on October 21st, bringing that down to 81,245 contracts. That's actually a positive signal that some of the extreme positioning is easing up.

    Looking at inventory, ICE certified cotton stocks held steady at 19,894 bales as of December 2nd. That's actually pretty significant because inventory levels can really influence longer term price trends. And here's something else worth noting, the Adjusted World Price came in at 50 point 77 cents per pound last week, down just 3 points from the week before.

    If you're buying or selling cotton in the physical market, The Seam online auction on December 2nd showed 15,688 bales sold at an average price of 61 point 31 cents per pound. That's a pretty good volume day and gives us a real world sense of what's actually trading hands out there.

    The broader commodity context matters too. We're seeing crude oil up 73 cents per barrel today at 59 point 37 dollars, and the US dollar index is down to 98 point 860. Those movements can absolutely influence how cotton trades because they affect the global competitiveness of US cotton exports.

    Here's my takeaway for you, folks. We're in a period where prices are being pressured, but we're not seeing any dramatic sell offs. The fact that managed money is reducing their short positions suggests there might be some stabilization ahead. If you're involved in cotton, whether you're a farmer, a trader, or a business using cotton, this is a good time to stay alert and watch those key price levels.
