Summary · why it matters

Sugar prices turned lower today as the recent rally pushed prices into overbought territory, sparking technical selling and long liquidation. NY sugar posted an 8-week high today, while London sugar hit a 10-month high, before both contracts gave up early gains. October NY world sugar #11 fell 0.02 cents, or 0.13%, and August London ICE white sugar #5 dropped $11.30, or 2.31%. The pullback comes despite bullish supply concerns, including weak monsoon rains in India that could reduce the sugarcane harvest in the world's second-largest producer, and an El Niño event that threatens to curb rainfall across Brazil, India, and Thailand.
