March NY world sugar #11 (SBH25) today is down -0.26 (-1.20%), and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH25) is down -5.30 (-0.95%).
Sugar prices today are under pressure after the International Sugar Organization (ISO) lowered its 2024/25 global sugar deficit forecast to -2.51 MMT from an August forecast of -3.58 MMT. The ISO also raised its 2023/24 global sugar surplus estimate to 1.31 MMT from an August projection of +200,000 MT. Losses in sugar accelerated after the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) fell to a 2-week low against the dollar, encouraging export selling by Brazil's sugar producers.
