Sugar futures rose as a roughly 2% gain in WTI prompted short covering and raised the prospect that mills could shift more cane to ethanol, limiting sugar output. The article also cites a weak Brazilian real and stronger Indian production as pressures on sugar, while El Niño-related rain has slowed Brazilian harvesting and crushing.
Higher crude oil can improve ethanol returns and encourage mills to divert cane from sugar, tightening sugar supply; a weaker real and rising Indian output work in the opposite direction by supporting exports and increasing supply. These competing factors create mixed price pressure, though the immediate oil-driven move was bullish for sugar.
