Group 1: Overall Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - Internationally, the arrival of the monsoon season has led to a favorable supply outlook in major Asian sugar - producing countries. Coupled with the year - on - year increase in Brazil's exports, the expectation of loose supply has suppressed the raw sugar price. Brazil's sugar exports in June were 3.359 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.24%, but the cumulative sugar exports from the 2025/26 crushing season to June were 7.1682 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 9.09%. Domestically, the price trends at home and abroad are diverging, the profit window for out - of - quota imports is open, and import pressure will be released, suppressing sugar prices. On the demand side, during the summer consumption peak season, the food and beverage industry has inventory needs, and the seasonal consumption of cold drinks has recovered, providing some support for prices. In general, recent raw sugar fluctuations indirectly affect the domestic white sugar trend, but domestic demand has rebounded, performing stronger than the overseas market. In the later stage, both supply and demand will be strong, and price fluctuations will intensify. Attention should be paid to the arrival of imported sugar and summer consumption [2].
