- Friday, June 15, 2012, 5:43 AM China, the world's largest cotton user, is reportedly looking to buy 1M metric tons of cotton from the U.S. to boost government stockpiles. Sources say 160K tons have been bought since last week. "The Chinese government has become the most important factor in global demand and supply," says analyst Dong Shuangwei, even as "the fundamentals still paint a rather gloomy picture." Cotton futures +2.43%. 2 Comments [On the Move, Commodities, Global & FX]
- Monday, March 5, 2012, 6:49 AM India, the world's No. 2 producer of cotton, bans all cotton exports, effective immediately. No explanation of the embargo has been offered. Cotton futures jump 4.5% to $0.92. 5 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 1, 2011, 1:39 PM Bad news for Cotton, good news for retailers? A deadly combination of a record global crop and falling consumption will continue to pound cotton prices and keep sentiment bearish in the trading pits, according to analysts. Standing to benefit are manufacturers and retailers: Levi-Strauss is cutting back prices to reign in price-conscious shoppers, while American Eagle Outfitters' (AEO +0.4%) CEO highlighted the importance of the commodity to his firm's bottom line in an earnings CC. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, August 22, 2011, 1:49 PM Apparel companies with a focus on sportier lines are moving higher in tandem today, helped along in part from a trend in lower cotton prices. Gainers: Hanesbrand (HBI +4.4%), Warnaco Group (WRC +4.3%) and Phillips-Van Heusen (PVH +4.3%). Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Tuesday, July 12, 2011, 10:01 AM Shares of airline stocks slip on Europe worries. Airliners face the usual Europe debt stress, but are also in a fight with the EU over emission standards under a new proposal, starting next year, capping emissions at 97% of their average 2004-06 levels. Airline losers: American (AMR -2.3%), Delta (DAL -2.3%), United Continental (BAL -2.9%) Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Monday, July 11, 2011, 10:39 AM Cotton futures slide -3.3% to 8-month lows on concern demand will slow down. A report over the weekend showing Chinese imports grew last month at the slowest pace in 20 months hurt, as did an international trade report saying cotton prices will decline significantly this season due to slowing global demand.
