The current MSP of sugar stands at ₹3,100 per quintal but sugar mills are selling sugar at a lower price. This year, it is priced at ₹2,650-2,750 per quintal.“Sugar mills can easily afford to export sugar at the current international market rate. High cane prices make Indian sugar uncompetitive, and always dependent on government subsidies on exports. “If India is a structural surplus sugar producer, it needs to export regularly.

Currencies
The US dollar is pinned near its recent lows against the Canadian dollar near CAD.1.3100. The dollar’s losses deepened as traders braced for the outcome of the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting that might hint at more stimulus, while gold prices were up. “U.S. interest rates should be expected to rise to attract investors, but rates can’t rise much, so the alternative is to have the dollar lower. The US dollar is consolidating in the lower end of yesterday’s range against the yen and is in a narrow JPY104.20-JPY104.55 range today.
That could put a bid into the US dollar, in which case it is likely that we will see silver markets pay the price. That is the only thing that people are paying attention to: whether or not we get enough stimulus to crush the US dollar. After all, running a true savings/investment-based economy featuring Larry Kudlow’s mythical “King Dollar” would crash the S&P 500, for one. In the US, a win for Joe Biden will weaken dollar and help metals through a large stimulus package.
The PBOC set the dollar’s reference rate at CNY6.6895, slightly higher than the market anticipated. Gold, silver, and cryptocurrencies will feast on US Dollar weakness like hungry lions on weak prey.

Risks to the recovery are skewed to the downside – not that surprising when you consider that a no trade deal Brexit could be happening in lockdown. The EU’s executive arm expects next year’s real GDP in the EU to improve by 4.1% compared with its earlier prediction of 6.1% growth.
