KARACHI: Cotton trading was lacklustre on Mon­day as ginners kept asking for higher rates for quality lint but spinners were not ready to cross certain price limit.

Activity as a whole on the market remained extremely slow and devoid of much-needed enthusiasm. Dep­le­ting stocks of cotton held by ginners are factor behind rising prices.

The Karachi Cotton Asso­cia­­tion spot rates re­­mained steady at weekend level.

Trading on ready counter was extremely slow and limited where only one deal of 1,000 bales from Khanpur was finalised at record price high at Rs5,650 per maund.
