Business volume witnessed improvement despite slow supply

Despite slow supply, trading activity witnessed improvement on the cotton market on Monday as needy mills and spinners lay hands over the fine quality to meet their demand, said dealers. The official spot rate remained unchanged at Rs 5,500.

According to the market, slow arrivals of seed cotton propelled mills and spinners to make deals at higher rates.

Cotton analyst, Naseem Usman said that more or less eight ginning factories in Sindh and Punjab are operational in the country.
