Sugar Futures Positioning and CFTC Update 8th June 2020

  • Specs had a quiet week in Raw Sugar as price hovered around 11c, with the net long position growing by only 3k lots to remain effectively neutral.
  • There was a similar story in White Sugar where the relatively stable price meant a small change in net spec position.
  • However, since the data was collected there has been a rally to 12c in the No. 11 – which was likely driven by specs buying back short positions that were opened
    below 11c.
