Cotton prices continued to decline on the back of weak international market and lower demand from mills and exporters.
A Rajkot-based broker said that prices may decline by another Rs 500 for a candy of 356. “The global cotton scenario is bearish and it has affected our market too, bringing down cotton prices. Moreover, domestic demand is weak,” he said.
On Monday, Gujarat Sankar-6 cotton declined by Rs 200 to Rs 33,500-33,700 for a candy of 356 kg.
