Sugar prices have witnessed an uptrend in global markets supported by
prospects for a deeper global deficit in 2015-16 than initially
forecast, thus increasing expectations for tight supplies.
Moreover, strength in the Brazilian real coupled with weakness in the US dollar  index have also acted as a positive for the dollar-denominated sugar prices. 

Taking cues from the firmness seen in overseas markets along with improved export demand and lower production forecast for this season, sugar has

seen a decent rally on the NCDEX an appreciation in the rupee

capped further gains in the sweetener on the domestic bourses.


Recently, the Rabobank raised its sugar deficit estimate to 6.8 million tonnes from 4.7 million tonnes, while FO Licht hiked its estimate to 7.2 million tonnes from 6.5 million tonnes. The deeper deficit is largely due to poor Asian crop led by unfavourable weather conditions, especially a reduction seen in output from India, Thailand and China. ISMA expects the country's overall production to stand at around 25.5-26 million tonnes for 2015-16 against 28.3 million tonnes produced last season.
Indian mills have scaled back expectations of sugar output due to
drought, notably in Maharashtra, a major growing region, and Karnataka, the third biggest producer. The association also updated that Indian millers have contracted around 1.4 million tonnes of sugar to export this current season against Minimum Indicative Export Quota (MIEQ), out of which about 1 million tonne has already been exported.
From a short-term perspective, NCDEX SUGAR MAY contract has a key
resistance at Rs 3,440, which, if crossed, can be seen approaching Rs 3,470- Rs 3,500- Rs 3,530 levels, whereas supports can be seen at Rs 3,420- Rs 3,400- Rs 3,380- Rs 3,350 levels.
