Cotton Falling Back on Tuesday

Cotton futures were down 46 to 82 points at midday Tuesday, pressured alongside a $1.20-per-barrel decline in crude oil and a 0.234-point rise in the U.S. dollar index. USDA reported 429,250 running bales of cotton had been ginned by September 15, an 8% change versus the comparable prior-year period, adding a supply-progress data point for the market.
