The average daily aggregate trading volumes were less than 30K contracts. So far this week price also moved in a very thin range. The July moved in the range of 82 to 84 cents. The July traded down for three days of the week and later on Thursday it moved higher to end at 82.82 cents per pound. The same counter is seen trading higher at 83.16 cents this morning on Friday up by almost half per cent from the previous close. One of the major reasons for rise in cotton price was the better than expected USDA US weekly export sales report. The Weekly Export Report for the week ended April 12th had surprising combined net sales of 524,900 bales (upland 520,000/pima 4,900). That included cancelations of 12,200 bales.
