ICE cotton futures snapped a five-session long streak of gains on Monday, weighed down by weaker grains, a stronger dollar and technical resistance.

ICE cotton futures scaled a new contract peak on Friday, as a strong US jobs report lent a further boost to a positive demand outlook.
"Nothing fundamental has changed since the end of last week, there is definitely some anxiety over how much further this market can go right now, with some resistance at 92 cents before we go back towards the mid 90s" said Jordan Lea, senior trader at DECA Global. Standard influences, the US dollar and Chicago grains, were also likely weighing on cotton, Lea said.
Chicago corn and wheat eased as strength in the dollar and a slide in crude oil curbed US grain prices, countering recent concerns about global harvest prospects. Soya beans also dipped.
Market participants await a federal weekly crop progress report later on Monday and a monthly supply and demand report later this week.
