1 - October 2016 Sugar #11 and #5 : prices October: a peak at 23.8cts/lb before speculators began to leave A highest was reached in October, with a peak on the 5 th of October, at 23.81cts/lb on the March 2017 issue (not reached since July 2012), thanks to speculators who were net buyers of more than 290,000 lots: 14.5Mt! But from this date onwards, speculators began to reduce their position by more than 1.5Mt, pushing the sugar value downwards. White sugar followed this movement, with a little inertia: the white premium again reached US$/t at the end of the month, and refined sugar remained close to580us/$-stillahighestsinceoctober2012. Nevertheless, fundamentals remained the same. The Brazilian harvest appears to be as expected, but will not be enough for the Asian appetite: China has just beguntosellitsstocks,indiamayreduceitsimportfees,andeveniftherenovationofthethaipolicygivesanewboosttoitsindustry,thiswillnotbeintheshort term.butthesefundamentalsmaynotbeenoughforspeculatorswhomayhavefeltthatthehighesthasalreadybeenreached.theyarestillnetbuyersofalmost 13Mt,buttheirtransfermaygoon,atleastuntilDecember, fortechnicalreasons(pp.1&2).
