Global Supply Concerns Push Sugar Prices Sharply Higher

October NY world sugar #11 (SBV26) closed up +0.26 (+1.58%) on Tuesday, and October London ICE white sugar #5 (SWV26) closed up +5.20 (+1.03%).

Sugar prices extended their sharp week-long rally on Tuesday, with NY sugar posting a 10-month nearest-futures high and London sugar posting a 15-month high. Concerns over lower global sugar production are propelling prices sharply higher. Due to drought and hot weather in Europe, sugar production in the European Union and the UK is set to decline to 14.98 MMT this year, the lowest level in 11 years, according to data from S&P Global Energy.
