No Common Ground on Agriculture at WTO
SHARM EL-SHEIK, Egypt (AP) - Frustrated by inaction, the head of the World Trade Organization said Saturday he hasn't seen the ``political will'' among government ministers to resolve differences over opening international trade on farm products.

Three months after they missed a self-imposed deadline to agree on a blueprint for agriculture, the ministers at an informal meeting of World Trade Organization members struggled to find any common ground over the future of trade in agricultural goods.

Cotton Marketing Weekly -- O.A. Cleveland, Ph.D.
6/20/2003

Fueled by demand and questionable global crop conditions, cotton futures maintained the prior weeks gains as old crop moved to higher levels and the new crop December spent time above 60 cents. Technical market indicators continue to keep a rein on a price breakout to the upside, but fundamental weather concerns are beginning to beg for higher prices. First Notice Day for July is Monday, thus the new crop contracts will now lead the market. December has 63 cents written all over it, but needs another week to clear out potential bearish technical signals. Then, the charge can begin. Traders may want to see the USDA June Planted Acreage Report (June 29). Too, another one or two strong export reports would add more oomph to the rally.
