Cotton Market Update – 15 September 2025

The ICE December 2025 cotton contract ended at 89.12 cents/lb, down by 75 points, while March 2026 contracts settled at 88.47 cents/lb, marking a decline of 71 points. Daily volume stood at 40,304 lots with open interest reported at 253,099 contracts.

In India, the domestic cotton market reflected cautious trading sentiment. Spot prices showed minor fluctuations across key regions, with arrivals remaining steady. Mills maintained selective buying due to sluggish yarn demand, while ginners held back stocks anticipating improved rates later in the season.

On the global front, traders noted that uncertainty in Chinese buying activity and sluggish U.S. export sales added pressure to futures. However, weather patterns in major producing regions continue to influence price direction.

Analysts observed that while international prices corrected marginally, tight supplies and quality concerns may support Indian cotton in the medium term.
