Sugar
Weekly Price Performance
NCDEX Sugar December futures declined during the early part of the week, however, recovered towards the end on talks that the government will give mills flexibility in selling sugar in the open market by releasing the quota for four months instead of one month. After declining sharply, Liffe white sugar settled marginally higher on account of long liquidation. In a move towards decontrol of the sugar sector, the government has decided to allocate the open market sale quota for the next four months (December-March) instead of current system of quarterly release. Food ministry is likely to allocate seven million tonne of sugar for the next four months of 2012-13 fiscal The UP Govt has further delayed the announcement of sugarcane SAP. According to sources, the UP Government may announce a hike of Rs 20-30 a quintal. against Rs 240 a quintal last season. One of the worst droughts in three decades will slash Brazil's northeastern sugar cane crop this season by as much as 30 percent in some areas. Brazil's north and northeast regions only account for about 10 percent of national cane output, but the crop is an important source of sugar and ethanol at home and abroad when the main center-south crop is idle between harvests. This may provide some support to the prices. Sugar prices may trade with downward bias as millers will try to liquidate the remaining stocks from the non levy quota before the month end. Hoqwever, sharp downside may be on talks that government will give mills flexibility in selling sugar in the open market by releasing the quota for four months Sell NCDEX SUGAR Dec between 3300-3350, SL -3500, Target - 3070 / 3040

Also, U.S has raised its 2012/13 forecast for global cotton inventory to above 80 mn 480-pound bales . Harvesting is on in US and 84% is completed as on 20th Nov 2012.
