Teucrium Sugar Fund

World sugar futures for July delivery on the Intercontinental Exchange have traded in a 16.43 to 19.72 cents per pound range in 2025. While coffee, cocoa, and frozen concentrated orange juice futures have reached record highs over the past months, world sugar remains well below its 1974 record 66.0 cents per pound peak.

Soft commodities were the best-performing sector of the asset class in 2024, posting an over 58% gain. They also led in 2023, with an over 24% increase. Over the past two years, cocoa, coffee, and frozen concentrated orange juice futures reached record highs, with cotton and sugar rising to multi-year highs. However, the cure for high commodity prices is those high prices, and the softs sector led the asset class on the downside in Q1 2025.

World sugar futures have been stuck in neutral while three of the other soft commodities have soared to record highs. The all-time high is over three times the current price level, so world sugar futures could offer value below 20 cents per pound.

While cocoa, Arabica coffee, and FCOJ futures have reached new record highs over the past weeks and months, world sugar futures have lagged. Sugar is the most liquid soft commodity, and it could be ready to join the bullish price action in the soft commodities sector over the coming months.
