Cotton Club Letter Price Model:  Subscription Only
A 
regression model
, like the one located here can give insight into how prices, on average, would react given a change in one or more fundamental supply or demand factors. A proper interpretation of this price model would be: 


“Over the last number of years, if cotton supply and demand were at their current levels, we would – on average – expect the US price of cotton to be approximately: X cents.”

*Note – This model does not attempt to forecast the future direction or level of cotton prices. 


General View
Bullish.
Keep in mind that while this is a weekly letter, I can easily change my mind in 24 hours.
