COTTON
General Comments: Cotton closed higher on hopes for improved demand and as bad growing conditions continued in West Texas. The world is starting to slowly recover from the Coronavirus scare and some stores are open again.

The retail demand has been slow to develop as many consumers got hurt economically due to stay at home orders during the height of the pandemic and have little disposable funds to spend on clothes. Demand will slowly improve but the industry should have plenty of supplies to work with in the short term. The US weather situation is mixed, with good rains noted in the Southeast and good conditions in the Midsouth. However, it has been very hot and dry in West Texas, and crops there are suffering.

Consumers are still drinking Coffee at home and the return of the Coronavirus outbreak will keep things that way.
