Cotton prices in China and India have risen sharply in recent months, China

From 87 cents to 93 cents, the price of S-6 in India rose from 73 cents to 83 cents.

Cotton prices in Pakistan rose from 65 cents to 68 cents.

The US Department of agriculture forecast in July to reduce the global cotton output this year and next year, increasing the global cotton consumption this year and next year, which led to a double decline in the global end inventory in the current and next year.

Although 81.8% of the inventory consumption ratio is still twice that of the historical average, the reduction of global inventories shows that the process of global cotton stocktaking has accelerated significantly.

The recent rise in cotton prices has been supported by the short supply of cotton, especially in India, where domestic cotton prices have risen by 15 cents in one month.

After exporting a lot of cotton to Pakistan, India was forced to rely heavily on imports to meet domestic demand.

Official figures show that cotton imports in India increased by 71% over the same period last April.

The situation in China is also similar, and domestic cotton prices have risen 5 cents in a few weeks.

The main problem in China now is that although the cotton reserves continue to run out a lot,

Supply is still running short.

Since May, almost all of the cotton reserves were sold, and the quality of some cotton reserves was not up to standard, which led to a decrease in the number of listed stocks in June.

After the launch of new cotton, the tight supply in China and India will be eased.

Cotton prices are expected to enter the downstream channel in 2016/17.

For cotton prices, a very important question is whether the 1 million 200 thousand tons of cotton output outside China can be successfully digested.

If China continues to be independent of the international market, the surplus stock in other countries will be hard to digest under the current downturn in global consumption growth.
