Thursday, March 24, 2016 – Weekly US Cotton Export Results and Commentary

By in Uncategorized

Total net export sales for the week ending Mar 17 were surprisingly slow Vs the previous sales period at only 92.9K running bales; shipments were higher at 222K running bales. Both net sales and shipments were below the weekly pace required to meet the USDA’s export projection. The US is now approximately 81% and 48% committed and shipped, respectively, Vs the USDA’s 9.5M bale export target. Sales cancelations were just below 15K running bales. Total net sales and shipments will need to average around 93K and 236K running bales, respectively, per week for the remainder of the current marketing year in order to meet the USDA’s target. Export sales against the 2016/17 marketing year were reported at approximately 52K running bales.

The data released today are surprisingly bearish.
