Potential analysis:

Cotton futures in December were trading on Friday. Because of the impact of the storm in the Dezhou area of the United States, the difficulty of harvesting cotton and the possible decline of harvest yield were the main reasons for the market buying. The market was buying up and the price of the market was rising. The electronic disk in the early Monday was still going up, and there was no room for further increase or limit.

Cotton supply and demand problems continue to deteriorate. After India confirms that the export is suspended, plus China's purchase of global cotton spot, the already tight relationship between supply and demand continues to be strained and moves in the direction of shortage.
