Weak India monsoon lifts NY #11 to a 3-week high and London #5 to a 9.5-month high
AI Market Summary
Sugar futures extended a three-session rally as India\'s monsoon rainfall ran 42% below normal, raising risks of lower cane yields and a smaller harvest. Supply concerns are reinforced by reduced Brazil Center-South sugar output and a higher ethanol mix, tightening the global balance toward deficit. A stronger DXY briefly weighed, but weather-driven supply risk (including El Niño-linked drought potential) remains the dominant near-term driver.

International raw and white sugar futures extended gains for a third straight session, with NY world sugar #11 setting a 3-week high and London ICE white sugar #5 reaching a 9.5-month nearest-futures high. The rally has been driven by concern that weak monsoon rains will cut India’s sugarcane harvest after the India Meteorological Department said cumulative monsoon rainfall was 42% below normal as of June 29. Supply worries have also been reinforced by lower 2026/27 Brazil Center-South sugar output and increased diversion of cane to ethanol, alongside expectations that an El Niño pattern could bring drier weather to key producing regions. A stronger dollar briefly weighed on prices, but weather-related factors have dominated.
