Watch: Monitor updates on El Niño developments and resulting sugar production changes in Brazil, India, and Thailand for commodity supply outlook clarity.
Citigroup projects Brazil's 2026/27 sugar production at 39.5 million metric tons, 10% below Conab's 43.95 million estimates due to mills shifting cane to ethanol amid high gasoline prices. The bank warns that a strong El Niño could further disrupt sugar output in India and Thailand within 6 to 12 months. This production downgrade suggests tightening supply despite crude oil weakness pressuring sugar prices.
Reduced sugar supply expectations signal potential price volatility for commodities linked to energy costs and ethanol demand, impacting related markets and Citigroup commodity forecasts.
