Summary of views: In the latest report on global cotton supply and demand released by the US Department of Agriculture: The total global production for 2020/21 is expected to be reduced by 226,000 tons from the previous month to 24.574 million tons, and the consumption is expected to increase by 21,000 tons to 25.196 million tons. Imports Trade volume increased by 65,000 tons to 9.391 million tons, and global ending inventory decreased by 262,000 tons to 20.97 million tons. In 2020/21, global cotton consumption will slightly increase, and output and ending stocks will decrease. The overall usda supply and demand report is relatively more than that of the cotton market. Domestic cotton market: Due to the newly confirmed cases in Shijiazhuang and Xingtai, the purchase and processing of cotton in Hebei have been affected, and the overall supply of real estate cotton has decreased significantly. In addition, the US Department of Agriculture's monthly supply and demand report estimates that the reduction of global production and the increase of consumption are undoubtedly a good guide for the cotton market. In this case, Zhengzhou cotton will still be adjusted upwards. However, as the current terminal printing and dyeing enterprises are close to parking, the downstream new orders increase less than the previous period, and Zhengzhou cotton futures prices are expected to fluctuate mainly. Operationally, it is recommended that Zhengzhou cotton 2105 contract sell high and buy low in the range of 15000-15600 yuan/ton in the short term.
