## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the current or most recent ICE Futures US Cotton No. 2 front-month settlement price in USX/lb. Prefer this over the composite cotton view when you only need the raw futures price without CFTC COT positioning or trend overlays, and over the historical series endpoint when you need only the latest data point rather than a time series.

## Known failure modes

- API rate limit or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error
- Market closed periods may return prior session's settlement price
- Malformed request — returns 400 if required input fields are missing
