Rising Crude Oil Prices Influence Sugar Market Dynamics
Sugar prices rose on Wednesday as crude oil prices surged over 3%, boosting ethanol demand and potentially reducing sugar supply. The London ICE white sugar and New York sugar futures both closed higher, with London reaching a 1.5-week high. Reduced global sugar surplus estimates and supply concerns from the Strait of Hormuz closure also supported prices.
