白糖周报：白糖市场震荡偏弱，供应压力与成本支撑博弈-20251105

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report The current sugar market is in a weakly fluctuating phase. The core contradiction between bulls and bears lies in the game between the expected increase in production in the Northern Hemisphere (new sugar supply from Brazil and the upcoming new domestic sugar - crushing season) and cost support (the production cost line of 5400 yuan). The supply remains loose, and the demand is in a slack season. The futures price is repeatedly testing the support level in the range of 5450 - 5500 yuan, lacking short - term breakthrough momentum. It is expected that the main sugar contract will continue to fluctuate in the range of 5400 - 5500 yuan/ton in the next 1 - 2 weeks, and the direction will depend on the progress of the new sugar - crushing season and policy signals [4]. 3.
