With regards to Cotton prices this year it stared ~4800 and not its hovering around 4400-4600 per quintal (100kg). This single biggest factor which moves the cotton prices are some of the decisions that Chinese govt took. 2 years back the cotton price went up all the way to 6000/quintal because China’s reserves were empty and they went on crazy importing cotton. Now they end up with huge stock piles and they have decided to release this stock they were holding since 2011… and it’s driving down the cotton prices.
