- In raw sugar the net spec short position continued to decrease, interestingly this was driven by the opening of over 20k new spec long positions – perhaps driven by renewed
strength in the energy markets. - Most of the selling to facilitate this was from commercials, but specs sold too and opened over 7k new short futures positions – reflecting the uncertainty around short term raws price.
- White sugar, though, paints a clearer picture with a small but steady net spec long as the tightness in the market continues to be felt.
