NY 2nd Month Sugar Futures

NY sugar futures edged lower on Tuesday, closing at 13.47, extending the recent decline and remaining below all key moving averages. The 10 DMA stands at 13.75, the 40 DMA at 14.26, and the 100 DMA at 14.57, all positioned above price and trending lower, reinforcing the broader bearish structure. The stochastics are falling, with %K at 15.71, moving deeper towards oversold territory. The MACD diff is negative at -0.0549 and remains below zero, signalling continued downside pressure.

To confirm further weakness, futures need to break below the recent support zone around 13.40/13.30. On the upside, futures need to reclaim the 10 DMA at 13.75 to stabilise the near-term structure. A break above this level would open the way towards the 40 DMA at 14.26, while a broader recovery would require a move above the 100 DMA at 14.57.

Recent candles show continued pressure near the lows, with no clear reversal formation visible. The broader trend remains downward with persistent selling pressure. We expect futures to remain vulnerable in the near term unless the 10 DMA is reclaimed.
