This is your Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Hey friends, welcome back to Daily Sugar Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark. I'm your host Vanessa, and today we're diving into the sweet scoop on sugar prices, what's driving the market, and tips to stay ahead.

Right now, raw sugar futures are hitting a five-month high around 15.94 cents per pound, up from recent lows, according to Ecofin Agency reports. FXLeaders pegs the current trading price near 15.85 cents per pound, with a daily forecast holding steady there and a weekly outlook climbing to 16 cents. That's a solid rally, fueled by skyrocketing oil prices pushing Brazilian mills to shift more sugarcane to ethanol instead of sugar, tightening global supply. Add in disruptions from the Strait of Hormuz closure, cutting raw sugar trade by about six percent per Covrig Analytics, and you've got real upward pressure.

On the production front, Brazil's Center-South output is up slightly to 40.25 million metric tons through mid-March, says Unica, but overall forecasts like StoneX predict a 2025-26 global surplus of 2.86 million tons. India's cranking out more too, with 26.2 million tons so far this season per ISMA. Still, weather risks and energy costs are squeezing EU beet farmers hard.

For you traders and buyers, watch support at 15.60 cents and resistance at 16.04—perfect spots to set alerts. If you're stocking up, consider locking in now before ethanol margins pull more supply away. Organic sugar demand is surging too, per Alibaba data, so diversify if you're in exports.

That's your daily sugar fix, friends—prices strong but volatile. Thanks for tuning in, hit subscribe, and catch you next time for more!
