A report from Green Pool forecasts a global sugar surplus of 156,000 tons for the 2026/27 season, down from 2.74 million tons in 2025/26, primarily due to a decrease in sugar production.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report Core Viewpoints of the Report - ICE cotton is expected to remain in a low - level oscillation. Although the poor US cotton export data restricts its upward drive, the lack of new negative fundamentals limits its downward momentum. Attention should be paid to external market factors, and there may be a risk of decline if market risk appetite deteriorates [6][17] - The domestic cotton futures and spot prices continue to strengthen slightly, and the basis remains relatively firm. The high and stable basis supports cotton futures, but the increasing cotton warehouse receipts and the incomplete release of domestic cotton supply pressure limit the upward momentum of Zhengzhou cotton futures. The downstream demand is in the off - season, and it is too early to focus on next year's planting. It is better to discuss it after the Spring Festival in combination with demand. In the short term, Zhengzhou cotton futures are expected to maintain a slightly stronger oscillating trend, but the upward space may be limited, and attention should be paid to the change of the spot basis [2][17] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.

Fundamental Analysis International Cotton Situation - ICE cotton fluctuated at a low level this week. The March contract once fell below 63 cents/pound on Tuesday due to the decline in crude oil prices and poor US cotton export data. However, driven by the US inflation data boosting interest - rate cut expectations and short - covering, it rebounded slightly in the second half of the week, recovering most of the losses on Tuesday. Currently, the poor US cotton export data makes ICE cotton lack upward drive, but in the context of an overall optimistic external market risk appetite, it temporarily holds the 63 - cent/pound line [6] - As of the week ending November 27, the weekly signing volume of 2025/26 US upland cotton was 30,800 tons, a 8% decrease from the previous week and a 23% decrease from the four - week average. The weekly shipment volume was 27,700 tons, a 1% increase from the previous week and a 5% decrease from the four - week average. The total signed sales volume of US upland cotton and Pima cotton in the 2025/26 season accounted for 51% of the annual forecasted total export volume, and the cumulative export shipment volume accounted for 41% of the annual total signed volume [7] - In India, both cotton import and export were strong in October. Textile exports were still affected by US tariffs. The raw cotton import volume in October was 127,000 tons, a record high in recent months. The export volume was 24,000 tons, a 33% increase from September and a 36% increase year - on - year. The textile export value in October was 1.55 billion US dollars. The Cotton Corporation of India has purchased about 4 million bales of new cotton, with a total inventory of 4.6 million bales [8] - ABRAPA's forecast of Brazil's cotton production in the 2025/26 season is lower than CONAB's. The cotton planting area in Mato Grosso state is expected to decline by 7.8% this season. The Brazilian Cotton Growers Association predicts that the cotton production in 2026 will reach 3.83 million tons [9] - In Pakistan, the demand for imported cotton has slightly improved, and the cotton production forecast remains in the range of 7 - 7.25 million bales. The local yarn demand is continuously weak, and some spinning enterprises are selling inventory at low prices. Yarn exports are mainly to the Chinese market [10] - In Bangladesh, it is expected that the import volume of US cotton will increase slightly in the next few months. Cotton import procurement is still sporadic. Although clothing and textile export orders are relatively stable, yarn prices are flat, and producers are facing increasing operating pressure [10] - As of the week ending December 19, the operating rates of textile enterprises in India, Vietnam, and Pakistan were 67%, 62%, and 65.5% respectively, showing little change [11] Domestic Cotton Situation - From December 12 - 19, domestic cotton futures and spot prices continued to be stable and slightly stronger. The procurement of cotton raw materials by spinning enterprises and cotton merchants was good in the first half of the week, mainly for low - basis spot lock - basis transactions. The spot basis changed little, and the price of 2025/26 machine - picked cotton in North and South Xinjiang was mostly between 14,900 - 15,100 yuan per ton [12] - As of December 19, the registered cotton warehouse receipts were 3,870, and the forecast warehouse receipts were 3,852, totaling 7,722, equivalent to 324,324 tons [12] - The sales of pure - cotton yarn in the market were generally poor, except for the relatively stable demand for combed high - count yarn. The prices of pure - cotton yarn fluctuated. Xinjiang spinning enterprises maintained a high operating rate with no inventory pressure, while the operating rate of inland spinning enterprises continued to decline. The pure - cotton grey cloth market remained weak, with local traders stocking up slightly, and the overall order volume did not recover much [13] 3. Basic Data Charts - The report provides charts on cotton sales progress, commercial inventory (weekly), spinning enterprises' cotton inventory (weekly), weaving enterprises' yarn inventory (weekly), spinning enterprises' cotton yarn inventory (weekly), cotton cloth enterprises' cotton cloth inventory (weekly), yarn enterprises' operating rate (weekly), cotton cloth enterprises' operating rate (weekly), pure - cotton yarn profit, pure - cotton cloth CGC32 profit, cotton 1 - 5 spread, cotton import profit, cotton basis, and Zhengzhou cotton warehouse receipts [14][15][16] 4. Operation Suggestions - ICE cotton is expected to maintain a low - level oscillation. Attention should be paid to external market factors. If market risk appetite deteriorates, there may be a risk of decline [17] - In the short term, Zhengzhou cotton futures are expected to maintain a slightly stronger oscillating trend, but the upward space may be limited. Attention should be paid to the change of the spot basis. It is too early to focus on next year's planting, and it is better to discuss it after the Spring Festival in combination with demand [2][17]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The fundamentals of cotton provide limited driving force, and it is expected to operate slightly weaker within a range. In the international market, due to continuous macro - disturbances and limited fundamental driving forces, ICE cotton is expected to maintain a low - level oscillating performance. In the domestic market, terminal demand is a major factor affecting cotton prices, and the Zhengzhou cotton futures price is expected to operate slightly weaker within a range in the short term [4][11][12].
