# Cotton futures close higher, lifted by rally in grain markets

> ICE cotton futures closed higher on Friday 13 November 2026, following a grain rally in which CBOT wheat rebounded from a 4.5-month low and soybeans and corn also rose. The gains were capped by a firmer US dollar near a 19-month high and weak US upland cotton export sales, while Conab kept its 2026/27 Brazil cotton output forecast at 4.1575 million tonnes.

## Why it matters

The grain rally spilled over into cotton through fund flows, but a strong dollar and soft export sales limited the gains. For feed buyers, the grain move is the more relevant signal, and the stronger dollar makes US-priced commodities more expensive for overseas buyers.
