The A-Index of world cotton prices (the red line) generally parallels ICE cotton futures (the green line) at a premium.  China’s internal cotton price (the blue line) is usually higher than world prices, and this has been the case in recent months with the uptrend in Chinese prices.  Through June 12, 2025, China’s cotton day-to-day price pattern was mixed, as was the A-Index of world cotton prices.
