Cotton prices, represented by Cottoncandy, edged up by 0.22% to settle at 55700, supported by low-level buying. The Cotton Association of India (CAI) maintained its pressing estimate for the 2023-24 season at 294.10 lakh bales, contributing to market sentiment. CAI President Atul S Ganatra noted that total supply till the end of November was estimated at 92.05 lakh bales. This includes market arrivals of 60.15 lakh bales, imports of 3 lakh bales, and opening stocks of 28.90 lakh bales. The steady estimate from CAI provided some stability to the market. Brazil's historic high cotton production in the 2022-23 season, driven by increased cultivation and productivity, led to a rise in global supply. However, sluggish demand amid unfavorable economic conditions resulted in bloated inventories and reduced cotton prices worldwide. Reports of a decline in pink bollworm infestation in the cotton crop were noted. The infestation reduced from 30.62% during 2017-18 to 10.80% in 2022-23, impacting cotton production in various zones across the country. Global cotton dynamics also played a role, with Brazilian cotton shipments increasing in November. However, the International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) projected that global cotton production would surpass consumption for the second consecutive year. The 2023/24 U.S. cotton balance sheet reflected slightly lower consumption but higher production and ending stocks, influencing the global balance sheet. In the major spot market of Rajkot, Cottoncandy prices ended at 26438.85 Rupees, marking a decline of -0.25%. On the technical front, the market is under short-covering pressure, with a -0.99% drop in open interest, settling at 200. Cottoncandy is finding support at 55480, with a potential test of 55270. Resistance is anticipated at 55980, and a breakthrough could lead to testing 56270.
