食糖期货交易价格约为每磅14.5美分,接近2020年12月以来的最低水平,市场基本面仍受巴西、印度和泰国强劲收成下全球盈余预期的主导。StoneX集团表示,在10月开始的销售年度,全球产量将超过消费量280万吨,扭转上一季度的赤字。巴西玉米乙醇产业的快速扩张增加了价格的下行压力,鼓励工厂将更大份额的甘蔗用于制糖。与此同时,油价下跌引发了人们的猜测,即印度本季度可能会批准出口,但用于乙醇生产的产量低于预期。
 Sugar futures traded around 14.5 cents per pound, holding near their lowest since December 2020, with market fundamentals still dominated by expectations of a global surplus amid strong harvests in Brazil, India, and Thailand. Global production will exceed consumption by 2.8 million tons in the marketing year that began  in October, reversing last season's deficit, according to StoneX group. The rapid expansion of Brazil’s corn ethanol industry has added downward pressure on prices, encouraging mills to allocate a larger share of cane to sugar production. At the same time, lower oil prices raised speculation that India could approve exports this season with lower-than-expected volumes diverted for ethanol production.
