The largest mover to date in a single month’s time is sugar futures, up over 16%.
As I’m an enormous follower of climate patterns and have predicted climate could possibly be an enormous issue on a number of crops this 12 months, one main concern for sugar is that the present El Niño climate sample will curtail international sugar output.
As well as, India’s ban on sugar exports will proceed to maintain international provides tight. This comes after India introduced a 50% export tax on molasses from sugar refining. Monsoons in India (Jun-Sep) fell 6% beneath common, the poorest monsoon rainfall in 5 years.
Moreover, the Thai Sugar Millers Corp, on November 1, projected that Thailand’s 2023/24 sugar manufacturing would fall by -36% y/y to a 17-year low as a consequence of a extreme drought.
I like to observe sugar as a barometer for meals costs (it is in virtually each processed meals product) and as a bellwether for social unrest and inflation. Of us will battle over sugar when there are shortages, and it’s not even Valentine’s Day but. As an increasing number of reviews declare inflation is over, the candy white stuff is value watching.
CANE, the ETF for sugar, has rallied into some resistance on the 200-day transferring common. Nonetheless, it has handily cleared the January 6-month calendar vary excessive, making the pattern increased for longer appear apparent. CANE outperforms SPY and, whereas momentum has been simply okay, with additional value rises, we might see momentum kick in.
On the March 2024 futures chart, 23.00 is help whereas 24.00 is resistance. Most noteworthy is the notion of tremendous cycles. Sugar is a superb instance of a 400% transfer increased since 2020, adopted by a close to 40% transfer decrease. And at the moment, a 20% transfer up because it reached the nadir of 20.00.
Volatility — sure — is the inherent nature of an excellent cycle. Has the subsequent wave begun?
