When were the Cotlook Indices first introduced?
Cotlook Limited and its predecessors have been monitoring world cotton prices for some eighty years. In 1966, the Cotlook A Index was introduced. It has gone through many changes over the years, to reflect changing patterns of trade and cotton qualities. It began as a SM 1-1/16″ value but is today a Middling 1-3/32″ price.
