  • Crude Oil Surge Boosts Ethanol and Sugar Prices Amid Production Shifts
    May 21, 2026, 2:36 PM EDT. Crude oil prices rose over 2%, driving gains in ethanol and sugar markets. July New York sugar futures climbed 0.95%, supported by strong crude oil. Higher oil values encourage sugarcane mills to produce more ethanol, reducing sugar output. The International Sugar Organization forecasts a record 182 million metric tons (MMT) sugar crop for 2025/26 but anticipates a drop to 180 MMT in 2026/27, with a potential deficit due to El Niño impacts on key producers like India and Thailand. Brazil's sugar production estimates are lowering amid increased ethanol focus, with Citigroup projecting 39.5 MMT for 2026/27, below official numbers. India's export ban and production shifts contribute to tightening supplies. Market watchers also highlight significant export growth from Thailand, adding complexity to price dynamics.
