Cotton futures were under pressure, with prices down 35 to 55 points intraday and most contracts finishing Thursday 136 to 216 points lower. A stronger drag came from a $3.11 drop in crude oil and a lower U.S. dollar index at $99.425, while USDA export sales data was also cited as a factor. The move reflects softer commodity sentiment rather than a broad macro shock.
