Executive Market Report - 29 May 2018

Last week, US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin stated that the Trump Administration has suspended its plan to impose as much as US$150bn in tariffs on Chinese goods. In a TV interview on 20 May he noted that the US was “putting the trade war on hold.” Earlier, China had responded to the tariff threat with a plan to impose 25% import duties on 106 US products, including cotton and other textile chemicals. Neither side imposed those tariffs, but the threat was enough to prompt some changes in trade flows amid concerns surrounding the acceptance of US EDC into China. But that could now be easing going forward. US cotton futures rallied further by another 3.1% in the fourth week of May, climbing almost more than 5% in the last two weeks. Global spot benchmark the Cotlook A Index also gained 1.8% on the week to US cents 94.95 per pound, after rallying US cents 0.55 at the weekend. In China, all cotton offered at the auction of state reserves was sold, totaling 150,011 million tons. Meanwhile, volatile cotton futures in the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange led to insipid trading in the cotton spot market, with players mostly eyeing state-reserved or resold materials during the week.
