ICE cotton futures dip on profit booking, Brazilian exports up
ICE cotton futures eased on Monday due to profit booking after a two-week rally. May 2025 contract settled at 66.98 cents per pound, down 0.39 cent, while July futures fell 0.36 cent. A weaker US dollar, rising crude oil, and strong Brazilian exports supported the market. Analysts expect consolidation after recent gains. Brazil’s 2025 cotton planting area and output projections increased slightly.
