Recently, the southeastern cotton region of the United States has suffered two consecutive hurricanes, and "Michael" has brought more losses to the new cotton in the United States. Despite this, cotton demand is still worrying, the main intention is the uncertainty brought about by Sino-US trade friction. On September 24, China and the United States began to implement a new round of mutual tariffs. Most of the textiles imported from the United States enter retail, and Chinese products account for a large share (30-40%), so the purchase cost of American consumers will undoubtedly increase, resulting in a decline in demand.
In addition to demand, cotton imports will also be affected. In the past few months, Chinese textile mills have adopted a wait-and-see attitude in the face of tariff increases, and in recent weeks, a large number of contracts have been cancelled. China's abandonment of US cotton to other varieties will cause major changes in the global cotton trade pattern. At the same time, the market expects that the decline in China's reserve cotton stocks will lead to increased imports and the decline in Australian cotton production will also make the market outlook more complicated.
