Sugar Futures Positioning and CFTC Update 29th July 2019

  • As of last Tuesday the No.11 net spec position had reached close to a record short at 160k lots but this was unable to push the market beneath this year’s range.
  • This failure has seen prices rebound back to 12c, presumably fuelled by short covering.
  • The No.5 net spec position is now almost triple the record set in 2018 before the most recent spec push lower and sits at 36k lots short.
