COTTON
General Comments Cotton closed lower on ideas of weak demand and ideas of little damage from Hurricane Sally. Hurricane Sally has curved into the Southeast and become a tropical storm. The storm is expected to drop a lot of rain on the open bolls in Alabama but little damage in Georgia. The rain could damage the fiber in the open bolls. Demand has improved over the last couple of weeks but remains at depressed levels. The export sales report was very strong yesterday but has been an exception to the overall weaker demand. Demand should stay week as long as the Coronavirus is a feature of life around the world. Shopping is hard to do and many people are still unemployed. This is especially true for the US but it is true to some degree in just about all countries. The Harvest is still a ways down the road and the tropical season is active. There will be more chances to inflict more damage on the crops to help try to rally prices.
Overnight News: The Delta will get scattered showers and Southeast will get big rains from Hurricane Sally. Temperatures should be near to above normal. Texas will have scattered showers. Temperatures will average below normal. The USDA average price is now 60.24 ct/lb. ICE said that certified stocks are now 5,912 bales, from 5,912 bales yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are mixed. Support is at 6550, 6430, and 6330 December, with resistance of 6690, 6720 and 6840 December.

FCOJ
General Comments FCOJ was a little higher again in consolidation trading. No hurricanes have hit Florida yet. The systems have all gone south into the Gulf of Mexico or north into the Carolinas. That usually means lower prices for futures but prices are already relatively cheap. The Coronavirus is still promoting consumption of FCOJ at home. Restaurant and food service demand has been much less as no one is really dining out. Florida production prospects for the new crop were hurt by an extended flowering period, but the weather is good now with frequent showers to promote good tree health and fruit formation. Import demand to the US should be minimal as US prices remain below those of Europe. Brazil has been too dry and irrigation is being used. Some showers are in the region now to help in Sao Paulo.
Overnight News: Florida should get scattered showers. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Brazil should get dry conditions this week and isolated showers this weekend and near to above normal temperatures. ICE said that 0 notices were posted against September contracts for delivery and that deliveries for the month are now 273 contracts.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed. Support is at 114.00, 113.00, and 110.00 November, with resistance at 118.00, 121.00, and 126.00 November.

SUGAR
General Comments: New York and London were higher on speculative and fund related buying. Higher petroleum futures were bullish for Sugar due to ethanol demand ideas. Chart trends are up in New York and in London. The world still thinks it has plenty of Sugar to deal with. Ethanol demand is down in Brazil due to weaker world and domestic petroleum prices so mills there are producing more Sugar in the mix. India is thought to have a very big crop of Sugarcane this year but getting it into Sugar and into export position has become extremely difficult due to Coronavirus lockdowns. Thailand might have less this year due to reduced planted area and erratic rains during the monsoon season. There are reduced flows from rivers from China to hinder irrigation of the crops.

COCOA
General Comments: New York closed a little lower and London closed a little higher. The next main crop harvest has started in southeast Nigeria. The charts show that London and New York have mixed trends. The current crop features strong production. European demand is reported to be improving. There are a lot of demand worries as the Coronavirus is not going away and could be making a comeback in the US. Europe is still trying to open its markets again but the Coronavirus is still around and consumers are reluctant to buy. Ideas are that Southeast Asia also has good crops. Halloween is coming but activities are expected to be down so demand should be less.
