COFFEE (NYBOT:KCU13)
General Comments: Futures were higher in New York on speculative buying tied to some forecasts for colder and wetter conditions for Brazil Coffee areas starting this weekend.

SUGAR (NYBOT:SBV13)
General Comments: Futures closed mixed in consolidation trading. There is not much new to talk about here so far this week. Futures trends remain down overall and price action has been weak as most expect a big production surplus for the year. Many expect production to be higher overall in Brazil due to a record Sugarcane production, and countries like Thailand and India also expect more production this year. The Indian monsoon is good so far this season and this should help with Sugarcane production in the country. Northern areas are in good shape, but southern areas might be too hot and dry and some stress to the Sugarcane is likely. Less production of Sugar beets is reported from Russia and Ukraine as farmers there elected to plant more grains.
