Favourable conditions were noted across northern West Texas, the Coastal Bend, the Delta and the Southeast. Overall, US cotton supply fundamentals remain relatively comfortable, despite some demand support from India. The latest US Weekly Crop Progress report showed cotton planting had reached 66%, up from 53% a week earlier and 64% a year ago, broadly in line with the five-year average of 67%. Meanwhile, New Delhi has suspended cotton import duties for five months to help textile mills secure cheaper raw materials and support garment exports.
