  • Sugar Prices Rise on Crude Oil Gains and Brazilian Real Strength
    April 24, 2026, 6:54 AM EDT. Sugar prices climbed with May New York world sugar up 0.29% and August London ICE white sugar reaching a two-week high, supported by a 1% rise in crude oil prices. Higher crude oil boosts ethanol demand, encouraging mills to shift cane crushing from sugar to ethanol, limiting sugar supply. The Brazilian real hit a two-year high against the dollar, reducing Brazil's sugar exports. USDA forecasts a 3% drop in Brazil's 2026/27 sugar production as mills prioritize ethanol. Global sugar surplus estimates have been slashed by analysts, tightening the market. Supply concerns due to the Strait of Hormuz closure also underpin prices. Recent data shows mixed signals from Brazil's sugar output, while India maintains its export stance, keeping supply dynamics complex.
