Commodities: Bullish trend on cotton market
KARACHI: The rising trend in cotton prices on the market entered its fourth day on Thursday.
Although cotton prices on ready counter somewhat remained firm at overnight level, the Karachi Cotton Association raised official spot rates by Rs100 to Rs8,500 per maund.
As the crop size continues to be questionable, leading spinners preferred to build up their stocks in order to avoid imports which have become costlier owing to the devaluation of the rupee, brokers said.
Most deals were of large size – a strong indication that big spinners were at the forefront of the buying spree.
