Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core View of the Report - The current fundamentals of cotton provide some support. On the demand side, there are expectations for the "Golden March and Silver April" as downstream industries resume work, and cotton sales progress is fast, at a high level in the same period over the years. The USDA's annual report has lowered the global cotton production forecast by 3%, with a reduction in US and Chinese production by 9%. The supply - demand situation is expected to be slightly tight, and there may be a tight balance if consumption continues to increase. The US cotton signing situation has also improved. It is expected that cotton will still have some support in the short term, and investors can consider building long positions at low prices but not chasing high prices [6]. - For the cotton market, it is expected that the short - term trend of US cotton will be mostly range - bound, and the technical performance of Zhengzhou cotton is strong. For trading strategies, in the single - side trading, investors can consider building long positions at low prices and not chasing high; in arbitrage and options trading, it is recommended to wait and see [7][8][9].

Second Part: Market News and Views - Cotton Market News: On March 12, 2026, the road transportation price index of Xinjiang - outbound cotton was 0.1593 yuan/ton·km, up 1.59% month - on - month. Due to increased transportation demand and relatively insufficient transportation capacity resources, the index rose slightly, and it is expected to show a narrow - range fluctuation in the short term.

Demand is expected to improve with the resumption of downstream production, and cotton sales are progressing rapidly. The USDA's report has lowered global cotton production, and the supply - demand situation may become tighter. The US cotton signing situation has also improved. It is expected that cotton will have short - term support, and investors can build long positions at low prices but not chase high [6]. - Trading Strategy: In single - side trading, it is expected that the short - term trend of US cotton will be range - bound, and the technical performance of Zhengzhou cotton is strong. Investors can consider building long positions at low prices and not chasing high. In arbitrage and options trading, it is recommended to wait and see [7][8][9]. - Cotton Yarn Industry News: The overall quotation of the pure - cotton yarn market is stable with a slight increase. Low - count yarn and rotor - spun yarn face substitution pressure from imported yarn, and their sales are slightly sluggish. Although cotton yarn sales are good and spinning mills' inventories have decreased, due to the rising price of raw material cotton, the increase in yarn prices cannot fully cover the cost increase, and some spinning mills with low cotton inventories still face profit challenges. The production and sales of all - cotton grey fabrics are stable, with sufficient inventory of conventional varieties and continuous sales. The inquiry situation in the regional market and factories continues, and the seasonal orders are acceptable. Currently, the on - machine orders are sufficient, but the follow - up new orders are insufficient. Only the orders for thin fabrics in export sales are in good demand, and clothing orders are average. Currently, fabric mills maintain procurement based on orders, and their cotton yarn inventory is maintained at about 10 - 15 days [10].
