Agora’s Kevin Kerr Still Loves Cotton

From Agora’s 5 Min Forecast:

“The cotton market has been very depressed the last few years due to high carryover stocks and lower global demand. All that may be changing. Farmers in key cotton-growing states are rejecting the idea of continuing to grow cotton and are opting for more profitable crops that have lower input costs.

“We are already seeing buying interest come back into the cotton, but it is still underperforming the other highflying grains. I would look at buying either call options or futures on the December 2008 cotton (CTZ8).”
