Indian Cotton futures closed flat yesterday. Rupee ended flat.
Ideas of large crop, weak export demand amid reports of Cotton sale by CCI added to downward
pressure on Cotton prices recently.
According to reports, Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) has procured 4.82 million bales of
Cotton so far this year at the minimum support price (MSP) from key growing states like Andhra
Pradesh and Maharashtra and may start selling it to traders.
Raw cotton is trading at near MSP levels at most locations across India. For 2014-15, MSP for
Cotton is Rs. 3750/ 100 Kg (medium staple) and Rs. 4050/ 100 Kg (long staple).
According to USDA, Indian Cotton output in 2014/15 will be 6.64 million MT in 12.70 million
hectares. Indian Cotton exports are likely to fall to 1.02 million MT in 2014/15 vs. 2.01 million
MT during previous year.
According to Cotton Advisory Board, India’s Cotton output in 2014-15 will be 40.0 million bales
vs. 39.8 million bales in previous year. Cotton exports are likely to be lower at 9 million bales in
2014-15 season, compared to previous season’s exports of 11.8 million bales.
Industry estimates for Cotton exports in 2014-15 are near 6.5 million bales, much below CAB
estimates.
According to Cotton Association of India (CAI), India produced 40.72 million bales of Cotton
crop in 2013-14 and is likely to produce 40.20 million bales of Cotton output in 2014-15.
According to 1st Advance estimates released by GoI, India’s 2014-15 Cotton output is expected to
be at 34.62 million bales vs. 36.59 million bales in the previous year.

ICE Cotton prices closed sharply lower, below key support levels. Failure to attract buying after
trading in a range for last many weeks, likely attracted selling pressure amid large global Cotton
inventories.
China's Cotton output reached 6.16 million MT in 2014, down 2.2% from the previous year.
China imported 264,500 MT of Cotton in December, down 57% from the corresponding month a
year ago. China imported 2.4 million MT for the full year 2014, down 41%, after the government
issued fewer import quotas to mills.
According to ICAC, global inventories will swell to 21.25 million MT by the end of the 2014/15
crop year, lower than its previous estimate of 21.41 million MT.
In 2015/16, ICAC expects world inventory to fall to 21.13 million MT. Production will fall by 1.5
million MT, or 6%, to 24.55 million MT from 26.08 million MT estimated for 2014/15 and
consumption will rise by 28,000 MT to 24.67 million MT.
ICE Cotton stocks rose to 43,731 bales.
According to CFTC data, for the week ending 13 January, non-commercial traders increased
their net short positions in ICE Cotton.
