July NY world sugar # 11 ( SBN25 ) Wednesday closed up +0.21 (+1.33% ), and August London ICE white sugar # 5 (SWQ25) closed up (+11.00 (+2.35%) Sugar prices on Wednesday recovered from early losses and moved higher after a +1% rally in WTI crude oil sparked some short-covering in sugar futures.

The outlook for higher sugar production in India , the world's second -largest producer, is bearish for prices.

The USDA , in its bi-annual report released May 22 , projected that global 2025/26 sugar production would climb +4.7% y/y to a record 189.318 MMT .

The USDA also forecasted that global sugar ending stocks would climb -7.5% y-y to 41.188 MMT and that global human sugar consumption would increase +1.4% .
