由于预计今年世界食糖产量将创新纪录,5月17日纽约市场食糖期货价格大幅度下跌。在当天纽约市场的期货交易中,7月份的原糖期货价格跌至每磅4.63美分,一日内的跌幅达5%。世界食糖价格再次大幅度下跌主要是由于今年全球糖产量将较大增加。根据近日公布的美国驻巴西大使馆官员的一份报告预测,今年巴西的食糖产量将达1900万吨,刷新去年1830万吨的纪录。另据古巴工业部门提供的信息,今年古巴食糖产量将超过预计的380万吨。此外,泰国的蔗糖产量也将比去年大增18%。食糖产量增加和需求不足使世界食糖市场更加疲软。不久前,世界食糖价格曾跌至14年来的最低水平,此后虽略有反弹,但由于出口商向市场大量出售库存食糖使价格继续下跌。
Since the world’s sugar production this year is expected to record a new record, the price of sugar futures in the New York market dropped sharply on May 17. In the futures trading of the New York market in the same day, the raw sugar futures price in July fell to 4.63 cents per pound, which fell by 5% in one day. The major drop in world sugar prices was mainly due to a larger increase in global sugar production this year. According to a report released recently by the U.S. embassy in Brazil, a forecast of Brazil’s sugar production this year will reach 19 million tons, setting a record of 18.3 million tons last year. According to information provided by Cuba’s industrial sector, Cuba’s sugar production this year will exceed the estimated 3.8 million tons. In addition, Thailand’s sugar production will also increase by 18% over last year. Increased sugar production and insufficient demand have made the world sugar market even weaker. Not long ago, the world’s sugar prices had fallen to the lowest level in 14 years, and although there has been a slight rebound since then, prices have continued to fall as exporters have sold large quantities of inventories of sugar to the market.
