Karachi : Karachi Cotton Exchange recorded only one transaction on Tuesday, while spot rates remained unchanged.

An analyst said trade activity remained low because the cotton season was over and buyers are waiting for the new crop in the market.

“Eid holidays will start from this week, while there activity is likely to increase after Eid, as more mills will start their operations,” he said.

“Harvesting of new crop will also increase after the holidays.”
