The cotton market had few buyers yesterday in the aftermath of schoolchildren’s killing in Peshawar.
Floor brokers said sentiment in most of the city markets remained depressed even on the second day after the gruesome incident.
Except some small lot deals from spinners, the market remained lacklustre. The underlying sentiment was also easy and uncertain.
Though there was a little change in price line, trading activity touched rock bottom with a few stray deals changing hands on ready counter.
The following deals were finalised on ready counter: 1,000 bales Tando Adam at Rs3,500-3,600, 1,000 bales Shahdadpur at Rs3,500-3,600, 1,000 bales Rahimyar Khan at Rs4,850-4,950, and 1,000 bales Sadiqabad at Rs4,850-5,000.
