Sales from China State Reserve Reach 10 Million Bales

Sales from Chinas State Reserve remain strong with cumulative sales since the start of auctions on
March 3 reaching over 10 million bales (2.2 million tons) this week. The average sale price has been
$0.966 per pound, 10 cents higher than the A-Index average of 86 cents during the same period. About
138,000 bales (30,000 tons) have been offered for sale each business day with a base price calculated
from the average of internal and world prices over the previous weeks. Daily sales rates have varied
widely with much of the fluctuation due to buyers expectations of changes in the base price. Sales have
been split roughly equally between cotton from the 2012 and 2013 crops, while sales from the 2011 crop
account for only 3 percent of the total. Purchasing has been evenly split between spinners and traders.

Demand has been very strong for cotton from Xinjiang with over 99 percent of its cotton offered being
sold, amounting to just over 60 percent of total sales. This is in stark contrast to cotton from the eastern
provinces which, overall, has represented less than 40 percent of the cotton sold. Furthermore, sales rates
in the eastern provinces vary greatly. The determining factor for eastern sales appears to be the location
of warehousing, while quality factors, such as length or color grade, are less influential.

The State Reserve recently announced that more Xinjiang cotton in the Reserve would be regraded, a
requirement for reserve sales. Related to this, the State Reserve is reported to have announced an
extension of sales to September 29 from the initial August 31 end date, as has been expected by many
observers for some time. If sales through the end of September maintain the rate seen so far, total sales
will be about 13.3 million bales (2.9 million tons). This would be greater than the roughly 2.7 million tons
sold from the State Reserve during the 2016 tranche.

 Overview
For 2017/18, global production is raised significantly, led by the United States. Global trade, use, and
ending stocks are also raised, although beginning stocks were lowered slightly. The U.S. balance sheet
has area down but production up on higher yields, resulting in greater exports and ending stocks. The
U.S. season-average farm price is forecast unchanged at 61 cents per pound.

For 2016/17, global production and use are largely unchanged, but global trade is raised. U.S. exports are
increased sharply as an expected tail-off in shipments during July failed to materialize. The U.S. export
figure published in this WASDE is final. The U.S. season-average farm price forecast is unchanged at 68
cents per pound.

Prices
The U.S. spot price continued to recover in the
first week of August after reaching a low in mid-
July. The sharp drop in the A-Index during the
same period reflects the shift in the quotes
forward in time once the 2017/18 marketing
year began on August 1.
