Cotton Trading Off the Lows, but Still Lower at Midday

Cotton futures are down 62 to 188 points in the front months, with May expiring at the close. The weaker US dollar index at $97.905 is a modest offset, but the sharp $6.71 drop in crude oil and easing US-Iran tensions point to a risk-off tone across commodities. The article is primarily a market update rather than a catalyst-driven event.
