Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The current price decline of the SR2601 contract is affected by the supply pressure of recent imported sugar, syrup, and premixed powder, as well as the expected change in the new crushing season's production and the overseas market's expectation of increased production in India and Thailand. Additionally, Brazilian sugar mills are more focused on sugar production due to sufficient corn - ethanol supply, with a comprehensive sugar - making ratio above 52%. However, the market has fully priced in the negative news and ignored potential risks. There are still many uncertainties in the Asian production as the new crushing season has not started. Rainfall in India is uneven, and its policies are also uncertain.
