Report Title - Sugar Weekly Report: India's Bi - weekly Sugar Production Soars, Domestic Pressing Enters Peak Season [1] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - Internationally, Brazil's sugar supply pressure will gradually ease as its sugarcane enters the harvest stage, and the market focus shifts to the Northern Hemisphere where most sugar production is in an increasing cycle. India's high bi - weekly production may lead to an unexpected increase, putting downward pressure on international sugar prices. However, due to the low sugar price and strong commodity market, the US sugar price is expected to fluctuate at the bottom in the short term. Domestically, the high processing cost of white sugar and the bottom - building trend of the US sugar price support the domestic sugar price, but the peak pressing season and the expected global sugar production increase in the 25/26 season may cause significant pressure on the upper shock platform. The domestic sugar price is expected to fluctuate in the short term [3]. - Trading strategies include: for single - side trading, international sugar prices are expected to fluctuate at the bottom, and domestic white sugar prices are expected to fluctuate within a range, so consider low - buying and high - selling within the range; for arbitrage, take a wait - and - see approach; for options, sell put options [4].
