Revision of Regulations Defining Bona Fide Cotton Spot Markets

Özet

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the regulation that specifies which states compose bona fide cotton spot markets in order to assure consistency with the revised Cotton Research and Promotion Act. Updated bona fide spot market definitions allow for published spot quotes to consider spot prices of cotton marketed in Kansas and Virginia. AMS is also amending references to the "New York Cotton Exchange" to read the "Intercontinental Exchange."
