Karachi : Normal trade continued at Karachi Cotton Exchange on Saturday while the spot rate increased by Rs200/maund.

Naseem Usman, chairman, Karachi Cotton Brokers Association, said demand of quality lint remained higher in the market against supply, which resulted in an increase in the prices. “If this situation persists, rates will reach to Rs9,000/maund in a few days, which will be the highest level in eight years,” he said.
