Cotton market witness dull trading

The Karachi Cotton Exchange on Monday witnessed dull trading as many mills stopped lint buying, while some were engaged in price negotiations with the ginners.

The spot rates remained unchanged at Rs6,750/maund (37.324kg) and Rs7,234/40kg. Ex-Karachi rates also stood firm at Rs6,885/maund and Rs7,379/40kg after an addition of Rs135 and Rs145 as upcountry expenses, respectively.
