I. Preface
In the beginning period of 2022, international cotton prices fluctuated upwards again. ICE cotton futures market has risen by over 5% within half a month, and part of cotton textile enterprises had confidence again, becoming tight sellers. Nevertheless, according to the data traced by CCFGroup, cotton arrivals in global major cotton producing countries have been drawing to a close currently. The impetus of harvest-rush and production reduction has weakened, while high cotton prices, insufficient energy supply and industrial policy change start to drag down the market. In the first quarter of 2022, global cotton prices are likely to fall down.
