Data from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed that for the week ended April 14, net long positions in New York cotton outnumbered short positions by 16,825 contracts, reversing the persistent net short position since April 2024. The shift was mainly driven by a surge in oil prices, making natural fibers more attractive relative to increasingly expensive synthetic fibers, prompting the market to turn bullish on cotton.

The war involving Iran has pushed up energy prices and raised costs for petroleum-based synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon. BMI, a unit of Fitch Solutions, stated that current market changes are enhancing cottons competitiveness. Over the past six weeks, prices of the most actively traded cotton futures have continued to rise. Meanwhile, supply risks have also supported cotton prices, as the Middle East conflict has driven up fertilizer prices, potentially curbing cotton planting next season and reducing output. (mn/da)~
