What this dated Cotton No. 2 record means

The recorded Cotton No. 2 series could roll between active expiries. Contract selection, exchange pauses and thin trading can change a continuation quote without producing the same move in nearby physical supply. Readers evaluating Cotton No. 2 should distinguish the recorded fact from an explanation. A price move alone does not prove which economic release, order flow or headline caused it.

Why the observation mattered
