Summary:


In the context of global cotton supply and demand easing, cotton demand remains weak. We still can not see signs of improvement. Besides, under the influence of policy, the price of cotton is still at a high level, and domestic cotton prices still stand at the highest position in the global cotton price, and the pressure is still not small.

Although China may have entered a cycle of "widening the currency", it still shows "insufficient ingredients and insufficient efficacy" compared to several major problems faced by the domestic cotton textile industry.

Aside from monetary easing, cotton prices will still be weak if there are no more major themes of the cotton spinning industry itself.

Investors should pay close attention to the monthly supply and demand report released by the US Department of agriculture on Tuesday to see whether the Ministry of agriculture will raise the forecast of global cotton carry over inventory in 2012/13.

Downstream consumption has not improved, grey storage inventories have been in a high position for a long time, the current domestic and foreign cotton prices remain high, the enthusiasm of enterprises to use domestic cotton is even lower, the domestic cotton consumption is hard to pick up in the future, and cotton prices are also difficult to rise.

Despite the pressure on overnight commodities, the US cotton continues the recent rebound trend and relies on the 80 platform to test the sell-off.

Driven by the external market, Zheng cotton short line 3 consecutive trading date price in the MA5-MA10 interval to find direction, once stabilized, interval pressure stage platform will appear.

Although Spain's banking sector has received 100 billion euros of bailout, European debt is still facing great uncertainty. Meanwhile, US quantitative easing has failed. The euro zone economic recession will continue and drag down the fragile economy of the world. In the future, China's economy will continue to face downward pressure and consumption will hardly recover. This will put pressure on commodity prices.
