Sugar Prices, 0DTE Options and New Luckbox Issue
A weekly look inside Luckbox magazine
Will sugar prices rally?
In 2023, sugar prices surged to 12-year highs because of poor growing conditions in production regions such as Brazil, India and Thailand. As of March 14, sugar was trading at $0.22/pound—100% higher than in 2020.
Sugar prices are expected to keep rising in 2024, as the current supply deficit is expected to persist through the current growing
season.
Global producers of sugar pump out between 175-180 million metric tons of sugar annually. Last year, however, production dipped to the lower end of that range. El Niño is a major reason for the supply deficit in sugar as well as for coffee, cocoa and oranges—because of storms and drought.
The demand for sugar remains robust and prices are expected to rise as much as 20% this year.
