Cocudakl

Cocudakl yesterday settled down by -0.55% at 2538 on profit booking after prices gained on reports that cottonseed khali stock is empty in Gujarat. Supply of cottonseeds might become tight in the coming kharif season if farmers decide to expand the area under the fibre crop going by the high price that prevailed during the current season to September. Cottonseed production and quality were affected last year due to excessive rains in the key producing State of Telangana and some parts of Tamil Nadu. Due to continuous rains last year, there was lot of damage to seed production in Telangana and Tamil Nadu. In Telangana, the largest producer of cottonseeds, production dropped 20-25 per cent. As a result, there may be a tight supply situation this kharif season if the demand goes up. The industry expects the cotton acreage to be higher than the normal 12 million hectares as farmers may opt to plant more with prices of raw cotton ruling higher at ₹6,000 per quintal compared with the minimum support price of ₹5,515. Also, Telangana, already a major cotton producer, plans to bring in more area under the fibre crop. Placement of seeds has already started in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan, where the planting will begin from mid-April. There might not be any carry-forward stocks at the end of kharif planting. In Akola spot market, Cocudakl gained by 17.45 Rupees to end at 2619 Rupees per 100 kgs. Technically market is under long liquidation as market has witnessed drop in open interest by -13.85% to settled at 42250 while prices down -14 rupees, now Cocudakl is getting support at 2517 and below same could see a test of 2495 levels, and resistance is now likely to be seen at 2565, a move above could see prices testing 2591.
