Commodity FuturesCommodities & Raw MaterialsCurrency & FXEnergy Markets & PricesEconomic Data

Cotton futures fell 33 to 121 points across most contracts, pressured by a stronger U.S. dollar index, which rose $0.054 to $99.155, and lower crude oil prices, down $4.48 to $89.41. NASS Crop Progress data showed 53% of the U.S. cotton crop planted, indicating ongoing supply and weather-sensitive fundamentals. The move is bearish for cotton but likely limited to commodity markets rather than broader equities.
