How To Develop The Cotton Price Collapse Market Is The Focus Of The Industry

 

At the expense of economic growth, the US Federal Reserve forcefully pushed forward interest rate hikes to curb inflation, which triggered a strong shock in the commodity market. Ice cotton futures showed a rare slump. The main contract in December fell from 118 cents to 98 cents, directly erasing all the gains in the past six months. A week ago, the seemingly stable market suddenly collapsed, and many practitioners were speechless.

In fact, the decline in prices has long been a harbinger. The attitude of the fund has explained everything. As of June 14, the net long positions of cotton market funds have declined for six consecutive weeks, which is only 47% of the peak in October last year. With the decline of the market in recent weeks, cotton futures position has dropped from nearly 200000 to 150000. As an industrial commodity, cotton has always been very sensitive to changes in the economic situation. Once the market anticipates economic recession, cotton demand will fall instantly, and panic selling is inevitable.

With the sudden collapse of cotton prices, the market is most concerned about how cotton prices will develop in the next step. Before the sharp fall in cotton prices, the market has been focusing on the weather and supply, selectively ignoring the decline in cotton consumption, until the economic recession may cause serious setbacks in consumption, the market panic selling. From the actual situation, the world is still in the recovery stage after the epidemic, and the general trend is still developing upward in twists and turns. Only the current excessive inflation has affected the normal recovery of the economy, and the impact on cotton demand is far less than that at the beginning of the epidemic.

The market needs time to solve the crisis and problems in each link of the industrial chain. If properly handled, it will be conducive to the healthy development of the cotton market.
