Cotton prices stayed relatively unchanged at the beginning of this last fortnight in U.S, indicating that stability may be back on markets.
This is the result of a combination of factors including slowing global economic growth, financial market uncertainties and anticipated lower demand from developed economies for cotton textiles.
The globalization of respective economies around the world was the basis for the demise. Those same factors are in play throughout the U.S. as
well as the economy in all other countries.
The NSEL(National Spot Exchange Ltd),in association with the NAFED (National Agriculture Co-operative Marketing Federation of India Ltd),yesterday launches spot trading in pre certified cotton bales contracts. This will benefit traders , textile mills, importers exporters by providing online delivery-based cotton contracts to hedge their price risk.
