Trading session saw selective buying in lint market keeping prices firm

During the trading session grade-conscious buyers made deals on slightly higher price, while selective buying in lint market kept physical prices firm. Spinners in Sindh and Punjab stations bought all grades on cautious note as grade issue was continue. Traders offered all grades of lint on bargaining rates at around Rs 4,975 per maund to Rs 5,475 per maund in order to capitalize maximum returns on their proceeds on Friday.

Traders at the Karachi Cotton Association (KCA) said the spot rate remained intact at Rs 5,350 per maund in order to provide support to weak stakeholders of raw grade to ward off minimal price level, said floor brokers.

Leading buyer remained cautious and only made deals according to their immediate need of lint on back of grade issue and in anticipation of decline in spot rate, they added.

Mills in Sindh and Punjab stations made deals for fine grades on competitive price at around Rs 5,575 per maund to Rs 5,600 per maund while general buyers made deals for all grades in Punjab and Sindh stations at around Rs 4,975 per maund to Rs 5,175 per maund, traders said.

According to fibre analyst, Shakeel Ahmad, the textile sector is facing dearth of fine grades, that would put positive impact on prices besides its market valuation.

The recent weather in cotton growing belt in Punjab remained suitable for standing crop. The shortage of energy to textile sector was still endangering cotton growers’ selling volumes.
