International Market:
According to sources, sugar prices on settled higher owing to a rally in crude oil and strength in the Brazilian real. WTI crude climbed high, which benefits ethanol prices and may prompt Brazil’s sugar mills to divert more cane-crushing to ethanol production rather than sugar production, thus curbing sugar supplies.
Strength in the Brazilian real on Tuesday was also positive for sugar prices. The real rose to a 3-week high against the dollar, which discourages export selling by Brazil’s sugar producers.
Weak ethanol demand in Brazil is bearish for sugar prices as the coronavirus pandemic ravages the country’s economy. Unica reported Tuesday that Brazil total ethanol sales in the Center-South region fell -22% y/y to 1.055 bln liters the first half of May. Brazil is the new hotspot for the coronavirus and trails only Russia and the U.S. in confirmed Covid-19 infections. Reduced ethanol demand will encourage Brazil’s mills to produce less ethanol and more sugar.
