Sugar futures reverse early gains as Brazilian real slump sparks long liquidation
NY raw and London white sugar futures reversed early gains and fell as a weaker Brazilian real triggered long liquidation and incentivized export selling from Brazil. The pullback follows a strong month-long rally to multi-month highs, highlighting positioning sensitivity to FX moves. Medium-term fundamentals remain tight—multiple agencies flag potential 2026/27 deficits and lower EU output—but near-term price action is being driven by BRL-linked selling pressure.
