Karachi:Trade activity decreased at the Karachi Cotton Exchange on Thursday, while spot rates remained unchanged.
The spot rates stood firm at Rs6,400/maund (37.324kg) and Rs6,859/40kg. Ex-Karachi rates also remained unchanged at Rs6,545/maund and Rs7,014/40kg after an addition of Rs145 and Rs155 as upcountry expenses, respectively.
