NY 2nd Month Sugar Futures
NY sugar prices have suffered in recent sessions, helping to confirm the rejection of prices above the 40 DMA. The market closed at 18.78 yesterday as the stochastics fell further into oversold and the MACD diff is negative and declining, outlining weakening sentiment. The close below support at 18.83 could set the scene for lower prices towards the 100 DMA. A break of this level could indicate a change in trend in the near term, this could prompt a decline towards 18.17 in the medium term. Support at the 100 DMA has held firm in recent sessions, and this could set the scene for higher prices towards the 40 DMA. Volumes have declined suggesting little conviction at these prices.
LDN 2nd Month Sugar Futures
Ldn sugar prices broke through support at 512.90 to close at 510.10. The indicators are weakening and are oversold but volumes have declined sharply in recent weeks as prices have declined, reducing conviction. The MACD diff is negative and yesterday's full candle indicates improved momentum. This could trigger losses back towards the 100 DMA at 505.92, a break if this level would help to confirm a change in trend towards 500. On the upside, futures need to regain a footing above 512.90 and then 520 in the near term in order to confirm the outlook of higher prices. We expect prices to remain on the back foot in the near term.

NY coffee prices consolidates yesterday after testing support and resistance, the market closed at 217.95. The indicators are falling further into oversold with the MACD diff negative but converging. The long term descending triangle is still intact, if support continues to hold firm and prices break above 220 and then 223 in order to confirm the outlook of higher prices. Futures have struggling in recent weeks and a break below support at 212 would confirm the descending triangle. With prices holding above key support momentum remains on the upside but prices needs to break above the 227.95 in order to confirm the outlook of higher prices and rejection of the descending triangle.
