Cotton Prices Plunge 7.5 Percent in a Week
Cotton futures dropped 7.5 percent in the five trading days through May 23, 2026, touching multi-month lows. Lucas and Luna unpack the reasons: a surprisingly strong U.S. planting progress report, easing demand fears from China, and the broader commodities sell-off led by crude oil. They discuss how speculator positioning amplified the move and what it means for apparel costs later this year. A focused look at one soft commodity's sharp decline.
