  • Sugar Prices Rise Sharply Amid Gasoline Surge and Ethanol Demand
    April 29, 2026, 5:48 PM EDT. Sugar prices surged on Wednesday, with New York sugar hitting a three-week high and London sugar a four-week high. The rally comes as gasoline prices climbed to a 3.75-year peak, boosting ethanol prices and encouraging Brazil's sugar mills to divert cane crushing towards ethanol rather than sugar, tightening sugar supplies. Brazil's 2026/27 sugar output is forecasted to decline slightly, while ethanol production is set to increase by 7.2%, according to Conab. The USDA projects a 3% drop in Brazil's sugar output for 2026/27, reinforcing price support. Analysts, including Covrig Analytics and Czarnikow, have cut global sugar surplus estimates sharply for 2025/26 and 2026/27, signaling a reduced global sugar glut. These developments reversed recent price pressure caused by ample supplies and weak demand.
