About Cotton
Cotton No. 2 is the benchmark futures contract for raw cotton fibre, quoted in US cents per pound on ICE Futures US and used as a reference price across global textile and apparel supply chains.
The United States, India, China, and Brazil are among the largest producers, while China remains the world's largest consumer and importer, meaning that demand-side developments from Chinese mills carry considerable weight in price formation.
Cotton prices are shaped by the intersection of agricultural supply factors, including weather during the growing season, and industrial demand conditions tied to textile manufacturing activity and the broader global economy.
What moves Cotton
The forces that move the Cotton (COTTON) price — and what every trader should keep an eye on.
- 01
Weather & Growing Conditions
Excessive rainfall, drought, or storms during the US growing season in the southern states can damage crops and reduce yield forecasts, often providing immediate upward price pressure.
- 02
Textile & Apparel Demand
Global demand for cotton fibre is tied to textile manufacturing activity, which in turn reflects consumer spending and economic conditions in major economies, particularly China and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
- 03
US Dollar Strength
A stronger US dollar raises the effective cost of US cotton for overseas buyers and can dampen export competitiveness, weighing on prices, while a weaker dollar has the opposite effect.
- 04
USDA Reports & Export Sales
Monthly WASDE updates and weekly export sales figures provide market participants with ongoing data on supply balances and the pace of US cotton export commitments.
- 05
Competing Fibre Prices
When synthetic fibres such as polyester become relatively cheaper, mills may substitute away from cotton, reducing demand; conversely, high polyester prices can support cotton consumption.
