Dull trading witnessed at cotton market

According to market reports, no transactions were reported on the ready counter.

At the Karachi Cotton Association (KCA) did not change the spot rates, currently pegged at Rs7,400 per maund.

High cotton prices are reportedly discouraging small spinners from making fresh booking from local market. Leading spinners are meeting their demand from imported cotton.

On global front, the world leading cotton markets also suddenly turned inactive and prices generally moved lower. The New York, Indian and Chinese cotton markets closed easy.
