Sugar Futures Continue to Ease

2026-03-11 16:23 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Sugar futures in the US eased further to trade slightly below 14.3 cents per pound, down from recent one-month highs of 14.6 per pound, pressured by ample global supply, which helped temper recent volatility from oil price swings driven by geopolitical tensions.

The consulting firm Hedgepoint noted that the 2025/26 season continues to point to an oversupplied market, supported by strong Brazilian production and expectations of Northern Hemisphere recovery.

Meanwhile, market fundamentals show that while global sugar supply still exceeds demand, the margin is narrowing.

Broker StoneX cut its forecast for a global sugar surplus in the current 2025/26 season to just 870,000 tons from 2.9 million tons, driven by India’s reduced harvest and shifts in Brazil’s production patterns.

Sugar Futures at 1-Month High
Sugar futures in the US rose toward 15.2 US cents, the highest since early April, as traders weighed expectations of tighter global supply driven by a shift toward ethanol production. Green Pool raised its 2026/27 global sugar deficit forecast to 4.3 million metric tons from 1.66 million previously, citing elevated oil prices that are encouraging mills in top producer Brazil to divert cane crushing toward ethanol instead of sugar. Unica recently reported that sugar production in the Center-South region dropped 11.9% year-over-year during the first half of April, with mills significantly reducing the amount of cane allocated for sugar from 44.7% last year to just 32.9% in the current period. Ethanol production reached 1.23 billion liters, a 33.32% increase compared to the same period of the previous cycle. Policy support was also reinforced after President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva confirmed an increase in the mandatory ethanol blend in gasoline to 32% from 30%.

Sugar Futures at 3-Week High
Sugar futures in the US rose toward 14.9 US cents, the highest in three weeks, mainly on the back of elevated oil prices and forecasts of reduced output in the next season. Persistent shipping disruptions from the Iran conflict have increased oil price volatility, potentially encouraging mills to divert more sugarcane to ethanol production. Regarding market fundamentals, expectations of a sizeable surplus in 2025/26 continue to dominate, but as the season winds down, attention is shifting to 2026/27, with analysts still projecting a surplus, albeit smaller. Trading firm Czarnikow has sharply reduced its estimate of the global sugar surplus for 2026/27 to 1.1 million tonnes from 3.4 million in February, citing El Niño risks to cane production in India, Thailand, and Brazil. Meanwhile, market participants continued to monitor Brazil’s 2026/27 harvest, which began this month and is progressing, supported by drier weather across key producing regions.
