International Market: According to reports, sugar prices retreated on Friday and posted 1-week lows on weakness in crude oil prices. Mar WTI crude fell -2.8% Friday to a 2-3/4 month low. Weaker crude prices undercut ethanol prices and may prompt Brazil’s sugar mills to divert more cane crushing to sugar production rather than ethanol production, this boosting sugar supplies. A rally in the dollar index on Friday to a 1-1/2 month high also fueled long liquidation pressure in sugar futures. An extremely large net-long position held by funds makes the sugar market vulnerable to long liquidation pressure.
Sugar prices have rallied sharply over the past three weeks on aggressive fund buying due to the outlook for smaller global sugar supplies.
