Performance & Outlook
The sugar market has seen the massive surpluses from the last several years erode away to levels that are near
equilibrium. While this is not a reason to be bullish but it is a reason for the market to consider whether this trend will
continue should prices remain under $.20/pound. We personally think it is way too early to play a possible deficit
scenario for the 2015/2016 crop cycle but recent price action that has generated an initial technical buy signal as well as a
major money flow buy signal suggest the big money is ready to play it now.
We think the specs are betting that the current balanced market remains very weather exposed and could easily tip the
scales into a major deficit situation in short order for 2014/2015 crop season. Even with good weather it seems that
recent data would push this market into a deficit for 2015/2016.
The big money speculators think and they have decided to dramatically alter their yearlong liquidation effort and have
now become major buyers. This kind of a change in money flow is very significant and likely suggests a bullish period for
sugar prices over the next year.
Technical Analysis
Also a major technical buy signal has also been achieved by breaking out above a prolific downtrending wedge pattern.
Any move over $.20/pound could set off a runaway advance in sugar prices. All eyes will be on Brazilian weather and crop
prospects for their 2014 harvest season. Any adverse weather could light a fire under sugar prices. Already very wet
weather is hampering yield potential and raising fears of supply deficits as early as next year.
Bottom-line is that sugar prices look they are heading higher to test the $.20/pound area for now. We remain
fundamentally bearish this market but must appreciate the bullish turn suggesting a more constructive tone.
