KARACHI: Cotton prices fell Rs400 to Rs10,800 per maund as spinners showed reluctance to make purchases, traders said on Saturday.
They said interest of spinners further declined in purchase of cotton that resulted in a drop of the official spot rate fixed by the Karachi Cotton Association.
Chairman Karachi Cotton Brokers Association, Naseem Usman, told The News that international markets witnessed fluctuation during the outgoing week. In the New York Cotton Market, rates had gone down to 77 cents per pound, which again increased to 82 cents per pound.
Cotton rates in the international market fluctuated during this period while local stocks are left below than 85,000 bales only.
