NEW DELHI – Ex-mill prices of sugar rose in key wholesale markets of north India today due to firm demand amid the beginning of a new month, said Uttar Pradesh-based trader Naresh Gupta.
* Some mills have increased prices amid robust demand for the sweetener ahead of the wedding season, Gupta said.
* Prices fell in Maharashtra due to higher selling pressure and sluggish demand during winter, said Mukesh Kuvadia, the secretary of the Bombay Sugar Merchants Association.
* Demand from soft drink companies and ice-cream makers declines during winter.
Following are the highlights of sugar trade in the domestic market:
--Up 5 rupees per 100 kg at 3,530-3,600 rupees per 100 kg in Muzaffarnagar
--Up 5 rupees per 100 kg at 3,585-3,635 rupees per 100 kg in Delhi
--Flat at 3,395-3,480 rupees per 100 kg in Kolhapur
--Unchanged at 3,552-3,672 rupees per 100 kg in Mumbai
* On the Intercontinental Exchange, the most-active March contract of raw sugar was down 0.9% at 19.44 cents per pound tracking losses in crude oil contracts on the NYMEX.
* Fall in crude oil prices prompts sugar mills in Brazil, the second-largest producer of sugarcane, to divert more cane towards sugar production rather than ethanol.
* Prices of sugar declined further due to India's likely higher output in the first two months of 2022-23 season. The Indian Sugar Mills Association today said that the country's mills produced 4.79 mln tn sugar in Oct-Nov, slightly higher than the 4.72 mln tn produced in the year-ago period. End
