Good morning, |
Yesterday saw the market start to build some support at 18.50 after the near 90 point collapse over the previous two sessions. The market had opened 9 points firmer and quickly gained another 5 points on market buying against a generally positive macro picture. However prices soon dropped back to unchanged once this early buying dried up. Prices did recover slowly only to drop back early afternoon to hit the lows of the day. However, decent buying was noted at 18.60 and below which eventually triggered some more robust short covering which saw prices improve 20 points over the final third of the day with the highs being hit during settlement. It was an inside day which suggests the worst may have been seen unless the macro dictates otherwise. The HK improved 3 points to end at +37 while the KN was 2 points better at +27. In London the HK was firmer at +4.20 as was the KQ ending at +4.10. This meant the HH WP ending stronger at 78.90 while the KK WP was unchanged at 82.90, however there was little interest with no block trades.
There is limited fresh fundamental news around as traders and analysts close their books for the festive holidays. The macro continue to dominate proceedings as the world continues to fret over the spread of the Omicron variant. Despite all the sugar market will see another production deficit this season so it is reasonable assumption that the market is probably under-valued at the moment. However, the Omicron story is probably far from over with more restrictions possible after Christmas.
This morning the market opened 6 points firmer before improving another 4 points. Currently, the market is 9-10 points firmer. The HK is unchanged at +37 while the KN is 1 point weaker at +26. In early London trading the HK and KQ are virtually both unchanged at +4.30. The macro is generally slightly positive with most commodities marginally higher. The USD index is also a tad firmer while the BRL ended weaker at 5.75 last night. More consolidation likely to be seen today with an up-side bias assuming no deterioration in the macro. The chart gap between 18.95 and 19.01 is the next upside target but interest is likely to remain muted.
