Cotton futures prices fell to the lowest in over a week on Wednesday, weighed down by rains in key producing areas in the United States and a stronger US dollar. "Showers and rain across West Texas (Tuesday) evening and higher US currency value are likely tempering buying interest," said Louis Rose, an independent cotton trader and consultant with Risk Analytics in Memphis. Rain in August, albeit late, is beneficial to the crop, according to Jordan Lea, chairman and co-owner of Eastern Tradin

Cotton futures rose marginally on Tuesday to trade in a tight range, even as weekly crop progress data from the US government offered limited support to prices. "The markets are trying to hang on to this uptrend line going back to February and it's anybody's guess whether it'll be successful or not," said Peter Egli, director of risk management at British merchant Plexus Cotton. "I don't think the fundamentals are moving the market right now, I think it's more money flow." The US Department o

Cotton futures registered their biggest intraday percentage gain in 11 days on Monday as investors covered short positions ahead of a weekly crop progress report from the US Department of Agriculture. "We're seeing some short covering," said Jobe Moss, a broker with MCM Inc in Lubbock, Texas. "(Soybeans) are up a little bit, the US dollar is practically unchanged; there is nothing, really, to trade off of."

Cotton futures snapped two straight sessions of gains and fell on Friday on speculator liquidation ahead of the weekend amid a stronger dollar. "I think we are still seeing some speculator liquidation and a failure of a lot of speculators buying ahead of the weekend," said Louis Rose, an independent cotton trader and consultant with Risk Analytics in Memphis. The second month December cotton contract on ICE Futures US declined about 3.7 percent for the week. "There were just not enough bargai
