Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - ICE cotton has rebounded due to the recovery of overall risk appetite in the financial and commodity markets, but the lack of obvious fundamental drivers and factors like good US cotton growth and weak global consumption prospects limit its upside potential [1][6][19]. - Domestic cotton futures have risen significantly with an expanding 9 - 1 spread, mainly driven by concerns over tight old - crop inventories. The bullish sentiment in the domestic commodity market has strengthened this positive factor, showing a stronger near - term and weaker long - term trend in futures. However, the accelerated rise is more influenced by technical buying and market sentiment than fundamentals, and there is a risk of decline when market sentiment cools or fundamental negatives appear [2][19]. 3.

The total signed sales volume of 2024/25 US upland and Pima cotton accounted for 108% of the annual forecast export volume, and the cumulative export shipment volume accounted for 90% of the total annual contracts [7]. - **Other Cotton - Producing and Consuming Countries**: - **India**: Sowing progress is slightly slower than last year. Cotton planting area as of July 11 was 9.3 million hectares. Cotton textile product exports in June decreased by 4% month - on - month and 3% year - on - year, and ready - made garment exports decreased by 13% month - on - month [8]. - **Brazil**: The US tariff increase on Brazilian goods has raised concerns in the domestic textile industry. The trading of new cotton in the 2025 season is slow, and farmers have sold about 70% of the total output [9]. - **Pakistan**: Cotton import demand is moderate. Local cotton production is expected to be between 6.5 - 7.5 million bales, and the price of new cotton in Punjab in 2025/26 is about 16,500 - 16,700 rupees per mound [9]. - **Bangladesh**: Focusing on US tariff negotiations. Cotton imports in June were 12.3 tons, lower than in May and the same period last year. The cumulative imports in the first 11 months of this year increased by 11% compared to the same period in 2023/24 [10]. - **Southeast Asian Textile Industry Startup Rates**: As of the week ending July 18, the startup rates of textile enterprises in India, Vietnam, and Pakistan were 73%, 64%, and 62% respectively [11]. 3.2.2 Domestic Cotton Situation - **Cotton Spot Market**: Spot trading is weak, but prices have risen sharply. Spinning mills mainly make rigid - demand purchases, and some large spinning mills locked in basis prices for better procurement on July 16 [12]. - **Cotton Warehouse Receipts**: As of July 18, there were 9532 registered warehouse receipts and 223 pending warehouse receipts for No. 1 cotton, totaling 9755 receipts, equivalent to 409,710 tons [13]. - **Downstream Market**: The price of pure - cotton yarn has continued to rise, and actual transactions are gradually following up. The profit of spinning mills has not improved significantly, and the startup rate of inland spinning mills has continued to decline. The off - season in the cotton - fabric market continues, with low startup rates, slow sales, and increasing inventory [14]. 3.3 Operation Suggestions - ICE cotton needs to wait for a driver to break through the oscillation range this year. For domestic cotton, continue to monitor the profit, startup rate, and finished - product inventory of downstream textile enterprises, especially the startup rate of Xinjiang spinning mills. Pay attention to supply - related policies (such as reserve policies and import quota policies) and demand - related policies (such as "anti - involution" in the industrial sector). Be aware of the risk of decline when market sentiment cools or fundamental negatives appear [19].
