Cottoncandy
Cottoncandy settled up by 0.34% at 56860, driven by a significant decline in cotton acreage in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. These states reported a total of 10.23 lakh hectares under cotton, a drop from last year's 16 lakh hectares. Punjab's cotton area decreased to 97,000 hectares from its historical norm of up to 7.58 lakh hectares in the 1980s and 1990s. Rajasthan's area under cotton reduced to 4.75 lakh hectares from 8.35 lakh hectares last year, and Haryana's area fell to 4.50 lakh hectares from 5.75 lakh hectares in 2024. Additionally, delays in shipments from the US and Brazil have increased demand for Indian cotton from neighboring countries' mills. A firm trend in cottonseed prices is supporting cotton prices, even as sowing for the kharif 2024 season has commenced in Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. In Telangana, some chili farmers are likely to switch to cotton due to weak spice crop prices. The 2024/25 U.S. cotton projections show higher beginning and ending stocks, with unchanged production, domestic use, and exports. The season average upland farm price is down to 70 cents per pound, with ending stocks 400,000 bales higher at 4.1 million. Globally, the 2024/25 cotton balance sheet shows increased beginning stocks, production, and consumption, with world trade unchanged. World ending stocks are projected 480,000 bales higher at 83.5 million. Production forecasts are raised based on higher area and yield in Burma. In Rajkot, a major spot market, the price ended at 27256.4 Rupees, down by 0.25%. Technically, the market is under fresh buying with a 1.79% gain in open interest, settling at 171 contracts while prices rose by 190 rupees. Cottoncandy has support at 56660, with a potential test of 56460 levels if breached. Resistance is likely at 57020, with further upward movement possibly testing 57180.
