Growth in prices for raw and refined sugar: futures analysis and consumption forecast in the USA, associated with Coca-Cola decisions.

Prices for sugar futures have risen due to the potential increase in consumption in the USA. President Trump announced that Coca-Cola has agreed to replace corn syrup with refined sugar in drinks for Americans, which could increase the demand for sugar to 11.5 million tons. In New York, the price of sugar No. 11 has increased by 0.18 cents, while in London by $5.50 per contract.

Information from commodity exchanges last Thursday shows that the October futures for raw sugar No. 11 in New York (SBV25) gained 0.18 cents in price (16.74; +1.09%) and reached a new peak in 1.5 months. According to a report from Barchart, the October contract for refined sugar No. 5 in London (SWV25) rose by $5.50 (484.00; +1.15%).

The price increase is related to speculations about possible increase in sugar consumption in the United States. According to information from Bloomberg Intelligence, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Coca-Cola has agreed to replace corn syrup with refined sugar in its drinks for American consumers. It is assumed that this may lead to an increase in sugar demand in the U.S. by 4.4%, from 11 million tons to 11.5 million tons.
