- Specs continue to appear bullish in raw sugar, now holding a modest net long position of 5k lots – moving in tandem with price as it surpassed 11c.
- This was driven both by specs opening new longs and closing shorts, and this buying was facilitated by raw sugar producers that were happy to hedge with the price strengthening.
- In white sugar the net long position continued its steady growth, in line with the tightness in the refined market – illustrated by the Q/N and V/V white premiums both standing above $100.
