ICE Raw Sugar Rises 3.01%, White Sugar Up 3.59% in New York
The outsized moves in white and raw sugar stand apart from the marginal shifts in coffee, cocoa and cotton, pointing to a sugar-specific driver rather than broad soft-commodity sentiment. That divergence matters most for sugar processors and traders with exposure along the white premium, where the wider gap between the two contracts can reshape refining margins. Whether the spread continues to widen or converges is the open question to watch.
