Summary by Related Catalogs Cotton - Macro factors include the approaching June US Treasury bond maturity, an increase in net short positions in the US CFTC cotton positions, and uncertainty about reciprocal tariffs. The domestic supply of cotton is tight in the short - term, with commercial inventory at the end of August expected to be 155 million tons this year, lower than previous years. New - season global cotton production is likely to increase, with Xinjiang expected to produce 7.2 - 7.5 million tons and Brazil 3.95 million tons.

Short - fiber will follow cost increases passively next week, but downstream transmission is poor, and processing fees may continue to decline. However, some enterprises have started to cut production, limiting the downward space [4]. Sugar - Internationally, although the sugar production and sugar - making ratio in the central - southern region of Brazil have decreased year - on - year at the beginning of the new crushing season, there is still an expectation of increased production. Domestically, factors are mixed. The sales speed this season is fast, and summer consumption is driving demand, with reduced short - term import pressure. However, continuous rainfall in Guangxi has ended the previous drought speculation, and there is still long - term import pressure, so the sugar price is in a weak oscillation [4][5].
