This is your Daily Cotton Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.
Hey friends, welcome back to the Daily Cotton Price Tracker with me, Vanessa Clark. Today were diving into the latest on cotton prices as we wrap up 2025, including where futures are sitting right now and what it means for you.
First off, the big news: cotton futures are starting the final day of 2025 with some nice gains. According to Barchart, the front months are up 17 to 20 points this morning. March 2026 cotton closed yesterday at 64.32 cents per pound, and its now up 17 points. May 2026 closed at 65.64 cents, up 19 points today. And July 2026 ended at 66.85 cents, gaining 20 points. Nasdaq confirms those front-month moves, with futures nearly unchanged on Tuesday before this uptick. If youre tracking cotton futures price or current cotton prices, thats your snapshotkeep an eye on support around 62 to 64 cents for March, per Price Futures Groups Jack Scoville.
Demand has been soft, hurting prices lately. Barchart notes weak US cotton export sales, especially to China, plus folks shifting to synthetic fibers for clothes. For the week ending December 18, upland cotton net changes were 182,700 bales, with total commitments at 6.365 million balesway behind last years 7.485 million and the five-year average. Farmers arent selling much with these levels, and buyers are scarce, as Scoville points out. But heres a turnaround hint: trends are mixed, with resistance up to 65.90 cents. A break below 64 cents could push toward 60, but strength might offer selling spots for traders.
Practical tip for you cotton growers or buyers: with export sales reports back to normal after federal disruptions, watch USDA updates closelytheyre key for spotting demand shifts. If youre in apparel or farming, consider hedging if prices dip near support levels to lock in gains.
