Cotton candy
Cottoncandy prices experienced a decline of -1% to settle at 57700, driven by concerns over sluggish milling demand amidst muted demand for yarn in the global market. However, the downside was limited as India's cotton continued to attract strong demand from buyers in countries such as Bangladesh and Vietnam. The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) has projected increases in the cotton-producing area, production, consumption, and trade for the next season, 2024-25. India's cotton stocks are expected to decline by nearly 31% in 2023/24, reaching their lowest level in more than three decades due to lower production and rising consumption. For marketing year (MY) 2024/25, India's cotton production is estimated at 25.4 million 480 lb. bales, representing a two percent decrease from the previous year due to farmers shifting acreage to higher return crops. However, mill consumption is expected to rise by two percent, driven by improving demand for yarn and textiles in major international markets. Import duties on extra-long staple (ELS) cotton have been recensed, leading to an estimated 20 percent increase in imports. In China, cotton imports for MY 2024/25 are forecasted at 2.4 million metric tons (MMT) due to higher domestic and international demand for textile and apparel products. This follows a rebound in exports of textile and apparel products, along with increased demand for imported cotton. From a technical standpoint, the cottoncandy market is currently under fresh selling pressure, as evidenced by a significant increase in open interest by 17.27%, settling at 326 contracts. Prices witnessed a decline of -580 rupees, with support observed at 57480 and potential further support at 57250 levels. Resistance is likely at 57960, with a potential upward move towards 58210 if resistance levels are breached.
