Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The overall market lacks significant driving factors, and sugar prices are expected to remain low in the short term. Attention should be paid to the import data for October [2]. - The supply pressure of Brazilian sugar is still evident, but as the current crushing season nears its end, exports are expected to decline seasonally.

Guangxi sugar mills are mainly focused on inventory reduction, and the new crushing season is mostly expected to start in mid - to late November, with a possible delay, which provides some sales opportunities for old sugar [2].

Report Title - The sugar market is fluctuating weakly, with a game between supply pressure and cost support - Sugar Weekly Report from October 27th to October 31st, 2025 [1] Report Author - Author: Yang Jiangtao [2] - Professional Certificate Number: F03117249 [2] - Transaction Consultation Number: Z0022644 [2] - Contact Information: 0371 - 58620082 [2] Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The sugar market is currently 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 (Brazil's increased output + China's new sugar - making season) and cost support (production cost line of 5400 yuan). The supply - demand situation remains loose, and the futures price is repeatedly testing support 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 be determined by the progress of the new sugar - making season and policy signals [4] Summary by Directory 1.
