"There's been buying interest in the physical market this week from countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya and Indonesia, but there's just plenty of sugar to meet the demand, with Thailand, Cuba and Europe all shipping," Smith Barney analysts Walter Spilka said. "In addition, there's more pressure on the Indian government to reduce its stockpiles which are the largest in the world." CSCE March sugar ended down 0.05 cent a pound at 10.52 cents, after trading a 10.64-10.50 range, with total volumes estimated at 8,384 lots near the close. On the charts, March sugar's five-day (weekly) simple-moving average crossed back below both the 21-day (monthly) and the 55-day (quarterly) moving average this week, adding a technically bearish tone, analysts said. But the March/May spread ended little changed at 0.09 cent. In London March white sugar also ended slightly weaker. "In the first half of 1997, much of the focus in the sugar market will be on the large Asian producers (India, China and Thailand)," Spilka said. "India has had three very large crops in a row and this has resulted in a huge build up in stocks which at the end of the 96/97 season could top 10 million tonnes," he said. "World production has risen more than demand also, leaving stocks higher in each of the past three years." "This in itself should keep sugar prices from rising much above current levels." informacije: Zoran Popijač telefon: 01/273-927 fax: 01/4550-148 201009 MET jan 97
