@ronlee1975 Maybe stopped dancing, but still definitely musical. https://t.co/LgovjtjY1N

@loucottonballs Grazie, Fratello. FWIW, I was basing my Friday comment on the week-over-week change in the supplemental report (i.e., futures-options combined, specifically the long and short non-commercial positions. Dearly hoping that I crunched those numbers correctly for last week).

ICE #cotton futures march steadily higher with support from short covering and new long positioning https://t.co/o3XI0owI5o

A neutralish 650,000 bale increase in world cotton ending stocks, with greater supplies slightly outpacing higher consumption, month over month.

For the second month in a row, there are no changes to USDA's U.S. #cotton balance sheet. Not altogether surprising. Expect minor reconciliation between ginning, classing, and 2025 production forecast in the May WASDE. https://t.co/HZIyYoLP0G

@ronlee1975 Resistance is futile.

[John Robinson @aggie_prof]

USDA NASS Prospective Plantings show U.S. all cotton plantings a little higher than expected at 9.64 million acres. Assuming this and fixing all the rest of USDA Outlook Forum balance sheet adds 350,000 bales to new crop ending stocks. https://t.co/PvOnWC8Z0b

ICE #cotton rising, Dec'26 to contract highs, on some cotton-specific factors (e.g., MY-high export shipments), net supportive spec positioning (maybe anticipating Prospective Plantings), and geopolitical influences on commodity markets https://t.co/sqfAPwr2qZ
