Cotton Bouncing Early on Friday

Cotton futures were up 24 to 40 points Friday morning after closing Thursday down 22 to 110 points, indicating continued volatility but no clear directional catalyst. The U.S. dollar index was $0.275 higher at 98.150, while crude oil gained $2.52 after earlier easing-tension talk faded. The note is primarily a price-action update across commodities and FX rather than a major new fundamental development.
