  • Sugar Prices Slide Amid Ample Supplies and Weak Demand Despite Ethanol Boost
    April 27, 2026, 2:41 PM EDT. Sugar prices fell on Tuesday, amid expectations of a large Brazilian sugar harvest and weak global demand. May New York world sugar futures dropped 0.65%, and August London ICE white sugar lost 1.47%. Early gains sparked by rising gasoline prices failed to hold, as ethanol demand - which can divert sugarcane from sugar to fuel production - was not enough to offset oversupply concerns. Brazil's sugar output is forecast near record levels, with the government agency Conab predicting 44.196 million tonnes for 2025/26, slightly up year-on-year. India's decision not to restrict sugar exports further eased market worries. However, a smaller global surplus for 2026/27, revised down by analysts, and supply risks from the ongoing Strait of Hormuz closure provide some support to prices.

The move matters now because the government’s latest energy package puts grids and storage closer to the centre of the investment case. London wants to weaken the link between power bills and gas prices, offer fixed-price deals to older low-carbon generators and speed up grid upgrades needed to move more renewable power around the country.
