Price information in producer markets: an evaluation of futures and spot cotton price relationships in the Southwest region using cointegration
Article Abstract:
The producer spot and the futures markets are reliable sources of price information. They differ in structure, composition and their role in commodity markets, with the latter participating in the price discovery process. An analysis of the producer market (cash)/futures price relationship for cotton in the Southwest region using the cointegration technique indicates that futures and producer prices of cotton are closely related. However, the futures market is the dominant market in terms of price information, and thus it can be used as price information for the producer cash market in the Southwest.
