Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - Recently, Sino-US policies are temporarily stable, but the crude oil price fluctuates greatly due to the Israel-Iran war. During the off-season of demand, the rebound momentum of cotton prices is slightly weak. However, due to the small quantity of imported cotton, the inventory of Xinjiang cotton is decreasing rapidly. It is expected that the supply and demand may become tight by the end of the year, and the downside space of cotton prices is narrowing. In the short term, the pressure around 13,800 should be monitored above, and the support around 13,000 below. Attention should also be paid to the inventory reduction speed of cotton during the off-season [4] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Cotton Price Forecast - The predicted monthly price range of cotton is 13,000 - 13,800, with a current volatility (20-day rolling) of 0.062 and a current volatility historical percentile (3 years) of 0.0597 [3] Risk Management Strategies Inventory Management - For enterprises with high inventory worried about cotton price decline, they can short Zhengzhou cotton futures (CF2509) to lock in profits and make up for production costs, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 13,600 - 13,800. They can also sell call options (CF509C13800) to collect premiums and reduce costs, and lock in the spot selling price if the cotton price rises, with a hedging ratio of 75% and an entry range of 200 - 250 [3] Procurement Management - For enterprises with low regular procurement inventory and wishing to purchase according to orders, they can buy Zhengzhou cotton futures (CF2509) at present to lock in procurement costs in advance, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 13,000 - 13,200. They can also sell put options (CF509P13000) to collect premiums and reduce procurement costs, and lock in the spot cotton purchase price if the cotton price falls, with a hedging ratio of 75% and an entry range of 100 - 150 [3] Market Analysis Bullish Factors - Affected by high tariffs, this year's cotton import volume has decreased significantly, and there is no reserve cotton sold. Although the output of Xinjiang cotton is high, the inventory is decreasing rapidly, and the spot basis remains strong. As of June 15, the total industrial and commercial inventory of cotton in China was 4.057 million tons [5] Bearish Factors - In the 24/25 season, the processing cost of new cotton in northern Xinjiang is mostly concentrated around 15,000 yuan/ton, and there is still some new cotton not hedged. The downstream is in the traditional off-season, with slow sales, reduced load of spinning and weaving mills, general procurement enthusiasm for raw materials, strong wait-and-see sentiment, and continuous accumulation of finished product inventory [5] Futures Price - Cotton 01 closed at 13,765, up 100 or 0.73%; Cotton 05 closed at 13,750, up 100 or 0.73%; Cotton 09 closed at 13,760, up 40 or 0.29%;棉纱 01 closed at 20,055, up 35 or 0.17%;棉纱 05 closed at 0, down 20,050 or -100%;棉纱 09 closed at 20,105, up 45 or 0.22% [5][6] Price Spread - Cotton basis was 1,349, up 49; Cotton 01 - 05 spread was 15, unchanged; Cotton 05 - 09 spread was -10, up 60; Cotton 09 - 01 spread was -5, down 60; Cotton - yarn spread was 6,365, down 30; Domestic - foreign cotton spread was 1,294, down 14; Domestic - foreign yarn spread was -627, unchanged [6] Price Index - CCI 3128B was 15,109, up 89 or 0.59%; CCI 2227B was 13,145, up 60 or 0.46%; CCI 2129B was 15,378, up 60 or 0.39%; FCI Index S was 14,007, up 92 or 0.66%; FCI Index M was 13,818, up 92 or 0.67%; FCI Index L was 13,588, up 93 or 0.69% [7]

Group 1: Report's Core View - The current Sino-US tariff policy expectations continue to cause disturbances. After the first meeting of the Sino-US London Economic and Trade Consultation Mechanism, there is no policy adjustment related to reciprocal tariffs or the textile and clothing sectors. During the off - season of demand, the upside space for cotton prices is limited, and there may be a short - term decline. Attention should be paid to the support around 13,000, as well as further adjustments to Sino - US policies [4] Group 2: Cotton Price Forecast and Risk Management Strategy Price Forecast - The monthly price range forecast for cotton is 12,800 - 13,700, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 0.0545 and a current volatility historical percentile (3 - year) of 0.0339 [3] Risk Management Strategy Inventory Management - For enterprises with high inventory worried about cotton price decline, they can short Zhengzhou cotton futures (CF2509) to lock in profits and make up for production costs, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 13,600 - 13,800. They can also sell call options (CF509C13800) to collect premiums, with a hedging ratio of 75% and an entry range of 200 - 250 [3] Procurement Management - For enterprises with low regular inventory and hoping to purchase according to orders, they can buy Zhengzhou cotton futures (CF2509) to lock in procurement costs in advance, with a hedging ratio of 50% and an entry range of 12,600 - 12,800. They can also sell put options (CF509P12800) to collect premiums, with a hedging ratio of 75% and an entry range of 150 - 200 [3] Group 3: Market Situation Analysis Bullish Factors - Affected by high tariffs, cotton imports this year have dropped significantly, and there is no reserve cotton sale. Although Xinjiang cotton production is high, inventory is being depleted quickly, and the spot basis remains strong. As of the end of May, the total industrial and commercial cotton inventory in the country was 4399800 tons [5] Bearish Factors - In the 24/25 season, the processing cost of new cotton in northern Xinjiang is mostly around 15,000 yuan/ton, and there is still some new cotton not hedged. The downstream is in the traditional off - season, with slow sales, reduced load of spinning and weaving mills, general procurement enthusiasm for raw materials, strong wait - and - see sentiment, and continuous inventory accumulation of finished products [5] Group 4: Cotton and Cotton Yarn Futures Prices | Variety | Closing Price | Daily Change | Change Rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Cotton 01 | 13530 | 0 | 0% | | Cotton 05 | 13535 | 5 | 0.04% | | Cotton 09 | 13525 | - 5 | - 0.04% | | Cotton Yarn 01 | 0 | - 19690 | - 100% | | Cotton Yarn 05 | 0 | 0 | - 100% | | Cotton Yarn 09 | 19775 | 10 | 0.05% | [5][6] Group 5: Cotton and Cotton Yarn Price Spreads | Spread Type | Price | Daily Change | | --- | --- | --- | | Cotton Basis | 1337 | 47 | | Cotton 01 - 05 | - 5 | - 5 | | Cotton 05 - 09 | 10 | 10 | | Cotton 09 - 01 | - 5 | - 5 | | Cotton - Yarn Spread | 6250 | 0 | | Domestic - Foreign Cotton Spread | 1146 | - 89 | | Domestic - Foreign Yarn Spread | - 689 | 0 | [7] Group 6: Domestic and Foreign Cotton Price Indexes | Index | Price | Daily Change | Change Rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | CCI 3128B | 14862 | 42 | 0.28% | | CCI 2227B | 12968 | 36 | 0.28% | | CCI 2129B | 15172 | 44 | 0.29% | | FCI Index S | 13880 | 18 | 0.13% | | FCI Index M | 13691 | 17 | 0.12% | | FCI Index L | 13461 | 18 | 0.13% | [8]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current Sino-US tariff policy expectations continue to cause disturbances, and the Sino-US talks bring about periodic emotional fluctuations. However, the characteristics of the domestic downstream off-season are gradually emerging, with insufficient new orders from gauze factories. The driving force for cotton price rebound is weak, and the cotton price may maintain a weak and volatile trend in the short term. Attention should be paid to the pressure around the previous high of 13,560 and the adjustment of the US foreign tariff policy [4] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Cotton Price Forecast and Risk Management - The predicted monthly price range of cotton is 12,800 - 13,700, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 0.065 and a current volatility historical percentile (3 - year) of 0.0734 [3] - For inventory management when inventory is high and there are concerns about cotton price decline, it is recommended to short Zhengzhou cotton futures (CF2509) at an entry range of 13,600 - 13,800 with a hedging ratio of 50% to lock in profits and make up for production costs.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The Sino-US tariff reduction is expected to benefit the domestic textile and apparel export market, but the current industrial performance shows limited order growth. The suspension of Trump's "Liberation Day" trade policy by the US court is conducive to the further recovery of export orders, yet the actual implementation remains to be verified. The domestic downstream market is cautious, and cotton prices may remain in a narrow range in the short term. With the off - season of demand, the driving force for a cotton price rebound is insufficient. Attention should be paid to weather changes in production areas and further adjustments to US foreign tariffs [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Cotton Price Forecast - The monthly price range of cotton is predicted to be between 12,800 and 13,700, with a current 20 - day rolling volatility of 0.1087 and a 3 - year historical percentile of 0.235 [3].

Market Influencing Factors - **Likely Positive Factors**: In the 24/25 season, northern Xinjiang cotton has high impurity content, leading to a shortage of high - quality resources. Most of the remaining cotton is held by large ginning enterprises and traders, making the cotton basis strong. Downstream gauze mills have high operating loads and rigid restocking needs. The cancellation of the Sino - US fentanyl tariff is beneficial for export orders [5][7]. - **Likely Negative Factors**: The processing cost of new cotton in northern Xinjiang in the 24/25 season is around 15,000 yuan/ton, and some new cotton has not been hedged.
