  • Cotton Prices Climb Amid Strong Export Sales and Market Gains
    May 1, 2026, 10:56 AM EDT. Cotton prices extended gains on Friday morning, with July futures hitting a 3-cent limit up and May contracts rising similarly. The USDA reported cotton export sales for 2025/26 reached a three-week high at 162,879 running bales (RB), up 56.6% from last year, driven by significant purchases from Vietnam and Pakistan. New crop 2026/27 sales also reached a seasonal peak, notably with Turkey and China as major buyers. Shipments hit a five-week high, further supporting price momentum. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index weakened, and crude oil prices dipped, factors contributing to cotton's rally. The ICE certified stocks remained steady, and the Adjusted World Price increased, reflecting bullish market conditions. Traders are closely monitoring this upward trend amid strong export demand and stable inventory levels.
