    This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Sugar Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and today we're diving into what's happening in the sugar markets right now, so stick around.

    Let's start with where sugar is trading today. The March New York Sugar Number Eleven contract closed at 14.73 cents per pound, while the March London ICE White Sugar Number Five closed at 418.90, down 7 points. These numbers might seem small, but they tell an important story about what's happening globally in sugar production and demand.

    Here's the big picture. According to recent market analysis, we're in what's being called a turning point for global sugar markets. Production is now growing faster than consumption, which means we have more sugar than we need right now. Global sugar production for this season is expected to reach between 189 and 190 million tonnes, while consumption sits at around 177 to 178 million tonnes. That's a surplus of 11 to 12 million tonnes, and it's putting downward pressure on prices worldwide.

    Why is this happening? Well, major sugar producing countries are ramping up output. Brazil, the world's largest producer, has increased its sugar production slightly this season. India, the second largest producer, has seen output jump 18.8 percent year over year and is now expected to export more sugar to help manage its domestic supply situation. Thailand, another major player, is also increasing production.

    This global oversupply is shifting how prices move. Instead of being driven by crop concerns or weather worries, prices are now being shaped more by trade decisions, export timing, and competition between major exporters. In the international market, we're seeing price volatility driven by when large volumes of sugar hit the market rather than actual shortages.

    Now, looking ahead, here's what matters for your portfolio or business. The market is projected to remain relatively flat in price throughout 2026, with any movements coming from short term commercial and logistical factors rather than fundamental supply shortages. Energy prices aren't expected to be a major factor either, given how much sugar is available globally.

    For those watching the domestic Indian market, sugar prices have remained stable thanks to expectations that the government may increase the minimum selling price from 31 rupees per kilogram to around 37 to 38 rupees per kilogram. In trading centers across India, prices have held steady with M grade sugar in Muzaffarnagar trading between 3980 and 4100 rupees per quintal.

    The takeaway here is that we're in a buyer's market for sugar. With global stocks rebuilding and production exceeding demand, availability is secure, but competition is intense. If you're involved in sugar trading or consumption, this is a period to watch for opportunities as prices face ongoing pressure from exporters competing for market share.

  • Sugar Rush or Bust: Brazil's Ethanol Gamble and the Fight at Fifteen Cents

    Sugar Rush or Bust: Brazil's Ethanol Gamble and the Fight at Fifteen Cents
    Jan 22 2026

    This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey everyone, welcome back to Daily Sugar Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, and today we're diving into what's happening in the sugar markets right now, including the latest trading prices and what it means for you.

    Let's start with the raw numbers. Raw sugar futures, which trade on ICE as the March contract, closed today at fourteen point ninety six cents per pound. That's up about zero point twenty two cents from yesterday, which represents a positive momentum day. The market touched a high of fourteen point ninety eight before hitting some resistance right around the fifteen cent level. For white sugar trading in London, March futures settled at four hundred twenty five point ninety cents per metric ton, also showing gains of about four point eighty cents.

    Now here's what's driving these moves. Brazil, which produces about a third of the world's sugar, recently reported that their cumulative sugar output through December rose by point nine percent year over year to about forty point two million metric tons. But here's the interesting twist: processors are choosing to shift more cane toward ethanol production rather than sugar. The ratio of cane crushed for sugar increased to fifty point eighty two percent this season from forty eight point sixteen percent last year, but overall, they're doing less of it in favor of the more profitable ethanol business right now.

    On the supply side, the picture remains challenging for prices. Covrig Analytics raised their global sugar surplus estimate for twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six to four point seven million metric tons. That's up significantly from their October projection. The surplus means downward pressure on prices overall, even with some short covering pushing prices up today.

    India's government has allowed exports of one point five million metric tons this season to help reduce their domestic glut, though minimal sales have been reported so far. The market is watching this carefully because India is the world's second largest sugar producer.

    Looking at the technical picture, the March contract continues to consolidate right around these current levels. The market is somewhat supported by ideas that it's oversold, but it remains limited by that large global surplus we talked about. The key resistance remains at fifteen cents, which the market tested multiple times today but couldn't break through.

    So what does this mean for sugar prices going forward? Expect continued volatility as we balance tight near term supply against the reality of global oversupply. The ethanol shift in Brazil is worth monitoring because it could tighten sugar supplies later, potentially supporting prices down the road.

    That's your sugar market update for today. Thanks so much for tuning in to Daily Sugar Price Tracker. Make sure you subscribe and join us next time for the latest in commodity trading. Keep tracking those prices.

  • Sugar Surplus Keeps Prices Sticky: Why 15 Cents Is the Ceiling Right Now

    Sugar Surplus Keeps Prices Sticky: Why 15 Cents Is the Ceiling Right Now
    Jan 21 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im your host Vanessa, and today were diving into the latest on sugar prices, market moves, and what it all means for you.

    Right now, the front-month March 2026 raw sugar futures on ICE are settling at 14.74 cents per pound, up a tiny 0.02 from yesterday after hitting a high of 14.90 and dipping to 14.66. TradingEconomics notes it closed around 14.77, marking a 0.25 percent daily bump but still down 1.49 percent over the past month amid global surplus worries. White sugar for March on ICE Europe settled at 421.10 dollars per tonne, off 1.40, with lows at 419.80.

    Czapp reports a quiet session with low volume, prices stuck in a familiar range as sellers cap gains below 15 cents and nobody is pushing hard either way. Bearish pressures come from booming output, like Indias 2025-26 production up 22 percent to 15.9 million metric tons through mid-January per ISMA, and Brazils Center-South sugar hitting 40.222 million tons by December, up 0.9 percent year-over-year says Unica. Covrig Analytics now sees a 4.7 million ton global surplus for 2025-26, though Brazils real strengthening is curbing exports a bit.

    But heres your takeaway, pals, if youre trading or baking in bulk, watch that surplus outlook, it could keep prices range-bound near 14.5 to 15 cents. For everyday folks, stock up on deals now before any future tightening in 2026-27 when Brazil output might drop nearly 4 percent per Safras and Mercado.

  • Sugar Rush or Price Crush: Why India's Record Output Has Markets Feeling Bittersweet

    Sugar Rush or Price Crush: Why India's Record Output Has Markets Feeling Bittersweet
    Jan 16 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Sugar Price Tracker with me, Vanessa Clark. Today, were diving into the latest on sugar prices, production updates, and what it all means for you.

    First up, the current trading prices. On the New York ICE, the front month raw sugar contract settled at 14.96 cents per pound, up nicely from recent lows thanks to some fund short covering. London white sugar is trading around 424 dollars per ton, with the March contract closing at 428.40. In India, ChiniMandi reports domestic ex-mill prices holding steady, like S-grade in Kolhapur at 3,530 to 3,580 rupees per quintal, while Uttar Pradesh M-grade rose to 3,879 to 3,970 rupees per quintal.

    For you at home or in business, heres your takeaway: With ample supply, lock in contracts now if youre buying, but watch for export shifts from India that could tighten things later. Stay sweet and smart out there.

  • Sweet Decline: Why Global Sugar Prices Are Melting and What's Next for the Market

    Sweet Decline: Why Global Sugar Prices Are Melting and What's Next for the Market
    Jan 15 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host, and today we're diving into what's happening in the sugar market as we kick off mid-January.

    If you've been following sugar prices, you know we've been in a bit of a downturn lately. Just this morning, sugar futures closed lower on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, with the most active May 2026 contract losing ground and settling at five thousand two hundred eighty yuan per tonne. Over on the ICE exchange, the front-month March 2026 contract is trading at fourteen point fifty-seven cents per pound, down from where it opened today. And if you're paying close attention to longer-term trends, sugar has actually hit its lowest levels since December, with prices down more than two percent over the past month alone.

    So what's driving these lower prices? According to recent market reports, we're looking at a global sugar surplus situation that continues to weigh heavily on the market. Brazil, one of the world's largest sugar producers, is crushing through cane at a much faster rate, with their Center-South region showing increased sugar output. Combined with higher production in India and the European Union, we've got more supply flooding the global market than demand can absorb. Analysts are projecting a global surplus of four point seven million metric tons for this marketing year.

    There's also the Brazilian real at play here. Weakness in their currency is actually encouraging Brazilian sugar producers to ramp up exports because it makes their product more attractive on the global market. These are the kinds of market forces that keep prices under pressure.

    Now, looking ahead, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. Analysts do project that next year's global sugar surplus will shrink significantly as lower prices discourage some producers from expanding output. So while today's trading is showing weakness, the longer-term picture suggests some stabilization might be coming.

    For anyone following the sugar market closely, whether you're a trader, investor, or just curious about commodity prices, the key takeaway today is that we're in a buyer's market right now. Lower prices reflect abundant global supply, but that situation may not last forever.

  • Sugar Surplus Squeeze: Why Global Glut Is Keeping Prices Sweet But Steady

    Sugar Surplus Squeeze: Why Global Glut Is Keeping Prices Sweet But Steady
    Jan 14 2026
    https://www.instagram.com/vanessaclarkipai

    This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

    Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. Im Vanessa, and today were diving into the latest on sugar prices, whats driving the market, and some smart tips to help you stay ahead.

    Right now, the front month New York Sugar number 11 contract is trading at about 14.68 cents per pound, down a bit from recent highs, while London White Sugar number 5 sits at 420.90 dollars per ton. Czapp reports show these futures dipped today amid slow trading and some selling pressure, but theyre holding steady in a tight range. In India, ChiniMandi says domestic ex-mill prices are stable, like 3650 to 3660 rupees per quintal for S30 in Maharashtra and around 3800 in South Karnataka. Russias NME exchange saw refined sugar at about 51500 rubles per metric ton.

    The big story is global oversupply keeping a lid on prices. USdas latest forecast points to record 2025-26 production at 189 million metric tons, way above consumption, thanks to higher output in Brazil, India up 25 percent year-over-year per ISMA, and Thailand. Brazil hit 40 million tons by mid-December, per Unica. That surplus vibe from ISO and others means no quick rally soon, though some analysts like Covrig see it easing next year.

    For you traders and buyers, heres your takeaway: watch Brazil output and index buying this week for short-term pops, but lock in hedges if youre long sugar, as weakness could linger. Diversify into ethanol plays if cane shifts there.
