  • Sugar Prices Mixed as Crude Oil Rally Supports Brazilian Ethanol Shift
    March 15, 2026, 11:43 PM EDT. Sugar prices ended mixed on Friday, with May New York world sugar marginally down and May London ICE white sugar slightly up. The rally in the U.S. dollar index to a 3.5-month high pressured prices. However, a surge in crude oil futures to a 3.75-year high is supporting sugar prices through speculation Brazil may raise gasoline prices and divert more cane to ethanol, reducing sugar output. Recent forecasts predict a global sugar surplus for the 2025/26 and 2026/27 crop years, driven by increased production in India, Thailand, and Pakistan. Brazil's sugar production showed a sharp year-on-year drop in January but remains slightly higher cumulatively. India's sugar output rose 12% in early 2025/26, with the government allowing higher exports, pressuring global prices. Analysts and organizations like Czarnikow, Green Pool, StoneX, and ISO highlight ongoing surplus concerns.
