I ask if cotton will recover as seasonal strength approaches in a February 17, 2026, Barchart article, when I concluded with the following:
Cotton offers value at the current price level, but that does not mean prices will not fall to new lows. In April 2020, the global pandemic caused prices to reach a 48.35 low, and in late 2008, they reached 39.23 cents per pound. However, in the current inflationary environment, with production costs rising and the U.S. dollar’s value declining, I believe cotton prices will hold around 60 cents per pound. Commodity cyclicality and seasonality increase the odds of a recovery rally over the coming weeks and months.
