Cotton futures fell 28–35 points across March, May, and July 2025 contracts on Wednesday, closing at 68.23, 69.37, and 70.40 cents/lb respectively, marking broad declines. External pressures included a 522-point rise in the US dollar index and a $0.93/barrel drop in crude oil, contributing to the downward trend in cotton prices. The weekly USDA Export Sales report was delayed until Friday due to a National Day of Mourning for former President Carter’s funeral, though trading hours remained unaffected. The Seam reported 13,770 bales sold online at 61.88 cents/lb, while ICE certified stocks held steady at 20,113 bales, signaling stable but subdued market activity. The Cotlook A Index rose 100 points to 79.05 cents/lb, contrasting with the USDA’s Adjusted World Price increase of 48 points to 55.03 cents/lb.
