Pakistan Cotton Market Overnight Commentary – 12:25 PM – January 29, 2015

Activity was seen on Wednesday in the local cotton market as some buyers were indulged in buying, while ginners on the other hand are not very happy with the stock they have of lower quality cotton with absolutely no demand for it. Buyers were mainly busy in buying stock cotton of finer quality without interest in the lower quality. Buyers were seen in the ring after the international market rallied continuously for the third day on Wednesday. Even though activity was seen in the market the prices did not gain much. Some conditional deals were also reported on the market of Rs.5100 and Rs.5200.

Crude-Oil, Soyoil Declines Weigh on Crude Palm Oil – 10:50 AM – January 29, 2015

Bursa Malaysia-traded crude palm oil may be weighed Thursday by profit-taking due to overnight losses in crude-oil and soyoil. The outlook is negative as prices are still below the seven-day simple moving average of 2,231 ringgit/ton, says AmBank in a note. The weak ringgit may limit losses, says another trader. Benchmark April BMD CPO closes 1.3% higher at 2,207 ringgit/ton Wednesday.
