ICE cotton gains for 4th consecutive day on strong crude oil
ICE cotton futures rose for the fourth straight session on June 25, supported by higher crude oil prices, which made polyester more expensive. The December 2025 contract hit its highest level since May 12, gaining 165 points over four sessions. Total trading volume reached nearly 40,000 contracts. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast’s cotton output for 2025–26 is projected to rise by 9 per cent to 350,000 tonnes.
