Cotton Club Letter Price Model:  Current Price Is Available By 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.
