Cotația zahărului a ajuns la cel mai ridicat nivel din ultimii trei ani, din cauza temerilor privind producția - Economica.net

Futures prices for raw sugar continued to rise due to concerns over global supply shortages caused by weather conditions and production issues among major producers. On the New York exchange, the most traded raw sugar contract increased by up to 2%, reaching its highest level since December 2024. This follows an almost 8% rise last week. The El Niño weather phenomenon raises supply concerns across agriculture, particularly affecting sugar. Analysts now expect a sugar deficit, reversing earlier surplus predictions. Excessive rainfall has slowed sugarcane harvesting in Brazil, while India's monsoon has reduced sugar production forecasts. Simultaneous adverse conditions for multiple major producers may disrupt balancing mechanisms in the market.
