Cotton futures surged Tuesday morning, extending Monday’s gains, with contracts up 12–34 points after rising 22–79 points the prior day. Front-month contracts led the rally, reflecting strong market momentum. USDA data showed 5% of the U.S. cotton crop planted by April 6, matching the five-year average and exceeding last year’s pace by 1%. Planting progress aligns with historical trends amid stable conditions. The Cotlook A Index climbed 75 points to 81.50 cents/lb on April 2, while ICE certified stocks fell 1,424 bales to 113,241 due to decertification. Supply tightness signals potential upward price pressure. Crude oil rose $1.06 to $112.60, and the U.S. dollar dipped slightly to $99.830, indirectly supporting cotton’s rally. Commodity correlations suggest broader market strength. May, July, and December 2026 contracts traded higher, with May up 34 points to 71.67 cents/lb. Futures gains reflect bullish sentiment amid steady demand and controlled supply.
