Trade turnover of cotton declined by over 40 percent to 5,900 bales (155 kilograms each), as majority of big textile mill-owners quit the local markets after building stocks for long-term use, a dealer said on Thursday.
“Most of the big textile mills are covered till next September,” said Taqi Abbas, a broker at the Karachi Cotton Exchange.
He said the new crop will start arriving in the markets in June, but matured cotton would come later.
