December 2026 cotton futures settled at 78.78 cents per pound, down 33 points, while March and May contracts also declined. The report cited falling crude oil, a weaker US dollar and rising certified stocks as pressures, alongside US crop data showing slower-than-average boll opening but faster harvesting.
The futures decline reflects pressure from energy and inventory signals, while slower boll opening and stronger physical-market indicators may limit further losses. This is a cotton-market move with no clear direct implication for listed feed commodities.
