Cotton prices moved up on the back of fresh demand from domestic mills. On the other hand, export demand remained restricted. According to traders, demand for quality cotton improved from millers over the last few days and prices are likely to rise further. Super quality Gujarat Sankar-6 cotton was traded higher by ₹300-400 at ₹42,200-500 for a candy of 356 kg. B grade cotton quoted at ₹40,000-41,000 and prices of lower quality were ₹35,000-36,000. About 30,000-32,000 bales (of 170 kg each) of cotton arrived in Gujarat and one lakh bales across the country. Kapas or raw cotton was traded higher as arrivals declined due to unseasonal weather in Gujarat. Kapas gained ₹10 to ₹900-1,060. Cotton seed was up ₹15 to ₹380-400 for a maund of 20 kg.
