Soybean futures sold for around $11.84 per bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade on Wednesday, rejecting a breakout above $12 per bushel for the fourth consecutive session. India, the second sugar grower after Brazil, was also due to have a large crop this year, said Scoville. Higher oil prices help sugar because one of the crop’s most important commercial by-products is ethanol—the biofuel that’s blended with gasoline, or petroleum. By comparison, CBoT soybean futures were trading around $9.40 per bushel when the U.S.-China Phase 1 trade deal was signed in mid-January.
This may suggest the recent rally in soybean prices could lose momentum to the upside and risk a reversal. He added: “The Indian government has not announced the subsidy for exporters of Sugar so no exports are coming out of India yet. Three trade sources told Reuters that Chinese soybean importers and processors are preparing to cancel deals signed with US firms for December and January shipments.
-Reuters US soybean exports have strongly correlated with the gains seen in futures markets. But for long-only investors in sugar, 2020 has been unlike any experienced in a decade-and-half. Wheat, cooking oil, and soybeans have followed.
