"Areas of the southeastern cotton growing regions of US area are likely to get some rain, while Florida could also see some bad weather due to Irma," said Louis Rose, co-founder and director of research and analytics at Rose Commodity Group. "I really don't believe the market would have traded limit-up if we hadn't had Hurricane Harvey. Harvey had a psychological impact," he added. Hurricane Irma strengthened into a highly dangerous Category 5 storm on Tuesday as it barrelled toward the Caribbean and the southern United States, even as Texas and Louisiana still reeled from Hurricane Harvey.
