Sugar deficit concerns lift NY and London futures as London hits a 16-month high
AI Market Summary
Sugar futures rallied as multiple forecasters shifted toward larger expected global deficits in 2026/27 and 2027/28, driven by weather-related output risks in India, the EU/UK, and Thailand, plus sharply lower Brazil Center-South production. El Niño risk reinforces supply uncertainty, while consumption is projected to set records. The deficit narrative supports tighter near-term balances and sustains risk premia in sugar pricing.

Concerns over a potential global sugar supply shortfall pushed New York and London sugar futures sharply higher on Monday. Forecasters expect 2027/28 global sugar production to fall 0.7% yr/yr as weather disrupts crops in India, the EU, and Thailand, while consumption in 2026/27 is projected to rise to a record. Brazil Center-South June sugar output fell 26.3% y/y, and India’s monsoon rainfall, while improved, remained below normal, reinforcing expectations of tighter supplies.
