KCA revises its cotton spot rate failing to generate substantial trade

The Cotton markets having failed to generate significant trade turnover in recent days, the Karachi Cotton Association (KCA) decided to revise the spot rate which was revised down by Rs50 per maund (37.324 kilograms) to Rs6,850 per maund.

Earlier, the KCA kept its cotton spot rate unchanged for the five working days at Rs6,900 per maund.
