The trading activities remained firm in cotton market with strong spot rate amid higher demand for fine grades, traders at Karachi Cotton Association (KCA) said on Friday. The buyers and sellers were entangled in price war while deals for all grades changed hands on competitive prices in Sindh and Punjab stations at around Rs 5,000 per maund to Rs 5,400 per maund while production of the lint in the ginneries of Sindh and Punjab remained moderate, however around 3,960 bales were produced, floor brokers said.

The KCA kept the spot rate unchanged at Rs 5,500 per maund in order to support sellers having lower grades to maximise better prices on their stocks, traders added.

The sellers withholding raw grades during trading stations asked slightly lower rates at around Rs 4,975 per maund in order to fetch maximum price, said floor brokers.
