Tight supplies of quality cotton for the coming months and a late US crop also contributed to higher quotations on the domestic market. The turnover of last week was not reached by far even though the end of the company holidays has been in sight.

The sharp rise and the uncertainty about stability of the current trend did not motivate spinning mills to take action, but to wait and to observe the price development as well as to look for attractive offers of available cotton.

It was reported in detail:

Medium staple cotton: Cotton from Central Asia for prompt delivery and the 4th quarter, East Africa for the 4th quarter 2013.

Long and Extra-long staple cotton: No business reported.
