Prices26 Jun 2017China cotton prices have risen and reached a new peak, rising positively since week ending 12 May. According to latest figures by the USDA, stronger demand and a tighter supply position are expected to characterize the 2017/18 market year relative to the year before. Total supply is expected to fall in China, despite the increase in cotton output, due to a relatively larger drop in reserves. On the demand side, the increase in demand is expected to be fueled mostly by the domestic market. The stock-use ratio is therefore expected to fall. In Brazil, cotton supply and demand are expected to be positive in 2017/18. Supply is expected to be fueled mostly by a boost in initial reserves, coupled with an increase in domestic production. Demand, on the other hand, is expected to be supported mostly by a boost in exports followed by a boost in domestic consumption.
