The quoted price for machine - picked cotton in Northern Xinjiang (3130/29 - 30B, impurity within 3.5) is around 14,600 - 14,800 yuan per metric ton on a delivered basis. Some lower - priced ones are in the range of 14,500 - 14,600 yuan. The lower basis for the same - quality spot is CF01 + 1000 - 1150, and the higher selling basis is CF01 + 1150 - 1350, with sporadic low prices below 1000.

Downstream buyers are mainly making purchases based on rigid demand. High - count yarns have maintained a relatively good sales trend recently, with prices basically stable. The prices of other types of yarns have either remained stable or declined, with some manufacturers reducing prices by 100 - 200 yuan/ton [7] - The market for all - cotton garment greige fabrics has remained sluggish. The inventory level is still on the rise. For conventional varieties, due to poor demand, there is severe homogeneous competition, and some differentiated varieties also have low demand. In the export market, there is an obvious shortage of terminal orders, and the competition for orders among greige fabric mills is fierce [7] Operational Suggestions - Overseas markets have a time - lag in data. The easing of Sino - US relations has boosted a rebound, and they will mainly follow the domestic market in the short term. As of November 26, the cumulative inspection volume in China has reached 3.959 million tons, an increase of 90,000 tons from the previous day. The number of market orders downstream has not changed much. The spinning mills' operating rates are maintained, and the downstream finished - product inventory pressure is not high. Spinning enterprises are making rigid - demand purchases of raw materials. With limited changes in the fundamentals and cost support, it is advisable to try long positions on dips and pay attention to the performance of the upper - level resistance [8] 2.

The quoted price of machine-picked cotton in Northern Xinjiang was around 14,600 - 14,800 yuan/ton on a legal weight basis, with a few low prices at 14,500 - 14,600 yuan/ton.

Downstream buyers mainly made purchases based on rigid demand. High-count yarn maintained a good sales trend, and the price remained stable. The prices of other varieties of yarn decreased slightly, with some manufacturers reducing prices by 100 - 200 yuan/ton. The market for all-cotton garment greige fabrics remained sluggish, and the inventory level was still rising. The conventional varieties faced intense homogeneous competition due to poor demand, and the demand for some differentiated varieties was also scarce. In the export market, there was a significant shortage of terminal orders, and the competition among greige fabric mills for orders was fierce [7]. - Overseas, as of the week ending November 21, 2025, the cumulative inspection volume of U.S. upland cotton and Pima cotton was 1.5066 million tons, accounting for 49.1% of the estimated annual U.S. cotton production, 15% slower than the same period last year. In the domestic market, the purchase of cottonseed in Xinjiang was almost completed, and the daily inspection volume was at a peak. The market's expectation of Xinjiang's cotton production in the 2025/26 season increased with the progress of the purchase. The downstream market remained weak. Last week, the finished product inventory of spinning mills increased slightly, and the operating rate decreased slightly. In some local areas, the sales of some products were relatively good, and the pressure on the finished product inventory of downstream enterprises was not high. Spinning mills made rigid purchases of raw materials. Recently, after the cancellation of warehouse receipts from the 2024/25 season, there were few warehouse receipts from the 2025/26 season. In the short term, supported by cost, it was advisable to try to go long at low prices and pay attention to the performance of the upper pressure level [8].
