SUGAR (NYBOT:SBV13)
General Comments: Futures closed lower on a weaker Brazilian Real on Friday. Ideas are that mills had not had time to produce more Sugar due to a delayed harvest in Brazil because of rains and also because they are concentrating on producing ethanol. However, the data from Brazil last week showed that there was plenty of Sugar around, anyway. Futures might try to work lower again this week as trends have turned down again and new contract lows were made. There is still a lot of Sugar around, and not only from Brazil. The Indian monsoon is off to a good start and this should help with Sugarcane production in the country. But, everyone is more interested in Brazil and what the Sugar market is doing there. Traders remain bearish on ideas of big supplies, especially from Brazil. Traders in Brazil expect big production to continue as the weather is good.
