Sugar Prices Fall on Dollar Strength and Crude Oil Weakness

July NY world sugar #11 (SBN26) today is down -0.27 (-1.95%), and Aug London ICE white sugar #5 (SWQ26) is down -6.10 (-1.35%).

Sugar prices are falling today, with NY sugar matching Tuesday’s 1.75-month low. Dollar strength and weakness in crude oil prices today are pressuring sugar prices. The dollar index ($DXY) rallied to a 13-month high today, weighing on most commodity prices. Also, WTI crude oil (CLN26) tumbled to a 3.5-month low today, undercutting ethanol prices, which could potentially prompt the world’s sugar mills to divert cane crushing toward sugar production rather than ethanol, thus boosting sugar supplies.
