ICE cotton declines on falling crude & stock market slump
ICE cotton futures fell on Monday as falling crude oil prices and sharp declines in US stock markets weighed on sentiment. Despite a weaker dollar and strong export sales last week, cotton prices dropped, with the July 2025 contract settling at 66.82 cents per pound. Analysts cited external market pressure and investor caution ahead of the May contract’s First Notice Day as contributing factors.
