Pakistan cotton market on Monday witnessed recovery in its cotton prices by Rs100 per maund (37.324 kilograms) to Rs5,010 per maund at the local markets due to upward trend at world market.

New York cotton (futures) market amid increase in demand for the commodity there maintained upward trend, according to brokers at the Karachi Cotton Exchange.
