  • Sugar Prices Supported by Crude Oil Strength Amid Global Surplus Concerns
    March 14, 2026, 8:41 PM EDT. Sugar prices ended mixed on Friday, pressured by a stronger dollar index but supported by a sharp rise in crude oil to a 3.75-year high. The crude rally may prompt Brazil to increase domestic gasoline prices, encouraging sugar mills to shift cane crushing toward ethanol, limiting sugar output. Analysts forecast a global sugar surplus in 2025/26 and 2026/27, driven by increased production in India, Thailand, and Pakistan. India's sugar output is rising, with production up 12% year-on-year, and export quotas have been increased amid lower domestic ethanol use forecasts. Brazil's sugar output shows mixed signals, with a steep drop in January but slight annual gains cumulatively. Market focus remains on supply dynamics and ethanol demand linked to crude oil prices.
