Cotton prices soar as stocks continue slide in 2009/10

4 min read
World ending cotton stocks in 2009/10 are estimated at 51.4 million bales, down 18 percent from a year earlier. This is the third consecutive annual decline in world stocks, and the largest year-to-year decline both in terms of size and percent seen in over a decade. Tightening global stocks have resulted in rising cotton prices.
The Cotlook Far East A-index in 2009/10 is currently projected at 78 cents per pound, up 28 percent from a year ago. Rising global cotton consumption and declining production in recent years have squeezed stocks and propelled cotton prices.
