Although there was a brief rally this week, the overall trend remains downward.March NY world sugar #11 (SBH26) rose 2% to&nbsp;$0.1513 per pound on Wednesday, but remains down over 20% for the year. The contract is on pace for a seventh monthly decline in 2025 and is headed for its steepest annual fall since 2017.White sugar futures for March deliveries in London have also struggled, falling around 16% in 2025. It is currently trading 2% higher at $426 per ton.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Has Caused The Decline?</h2>The biggest drag on prices has been surging output from key exporters. Brazil, the world’s top sugar producer, continues to post strong production, while production in India rebounded sharply after weather-related setbacks in recent years. This has lifted global supplies well above demand, leaving sugar prices under sustained pressure.India’s outlook has been particularly bearish for prices. The country is allowing sugar exports again to reduce domestic oversupply, and industry groups have raised production forecasts for the 2025/26 season. India’s sugar production jumped 23.4% to 11.83 million tonnes in the first three months of the 2025-26 season, the National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Factories (NFCSF) reported on Wednesday.Brazil’s outlook also remains high, even though some forecasters expect output to ease slightly in later seasons. Gross annual production is expected to increase by 3% in the 2025-2026 season, according to reports.Government agencies and industry data continue to point to near-record production levels. Last month, the International Sugar Organization forecast a global sugar surplus of 1.63 million tons for 2025/26, following a 2.916 million-ton deficit in 2024/25.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Retail Reaction On Stocktwits</h2>Retail sentiment for <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CANE">Teucrium Sugar Fund</a> (CANE) on Stocktwits turned ‘neutral’ from ‘bearish’ a day earlier.

Silver’s $80 Breach Sparks Strong Pullback, Miners Feel The Heat: HL, AG, PAAS Stocks Drop Premarket 

Spot silver (XAG/USD) prices briefly topped $84 per ounce before crashing back to $74

Spot silver (XAG/USD) prices briefly topped $84 per ounce before crashing back to $74.

In 2025, gold and silver have seen one of the most spectacular runs in recent years. Silver, in particular, has seen prices soar to new record highs above $80 per ounce, with a year-to-date gain of more than 163%. However, prices have retreated somewhat due to profit-taking and easing tensions. Gold prices, too, have risen by over 70% this year, approaching levels seen in the late 1970s.The precious metals surge was catalyzed by a series of macro trends, including expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, geopolitical risks, and structural supply deficits, especially in silver.&nbsp;Central bank purchases of gold and retail investor demand were additional factors that fueled the surge in metals amid heightened volatility in the broader market. While conventional equity and defensive assets posted decent gains in 2025, precious metals raced ahead by a wide margin.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/w_GI_5_Y_how_gold_silver_fared_against_tech_giants_nbsp_1_png_5a6f00c309.webp" alt="wGI5Y-how-gold-silver-fared-against-tech-giants-nbsp- (1).png"><h2 class="st-heading-2">How The Big 5 U.S. Companies Performed In 2025</h2>For the sake of clarity, “Big 5” refers to the five largest U.S. firms by market capitalization in 2025. These include Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, and Amazon, all of which have been closely tracked by the market.NVIDIA Tested $5T Market CapitalizationNVIDIA Corp. jumped 42% this year, as demand for AI semiconductors skyrocketed. The company became the first public firm to reach a market capitalization of $4 trillion and briefly topped $5 trillion. This meteoric growth was driven by the explosive expansion of generative AI and data center spending, making Nvidia the “spine” of AI infrastructure. Strong quarterly performances helped alleviate valuation concerns.Apple Stock Surged Nearly 10% This Year&nbsp;Apple’s stock delivered relatively muted gains compared with its peers. At times, it underperformed the broader market due to investor concerns over the company’s slower pace of AI adoption. While Apple continued to post strong profits due to its strong products and services ecosystem, investors were cautious about its AI strategy, which was a key market narrative in 2025.Alphabet Soared 66% In 2025The year 2025 proved favorable for Alphabet, as its stock reached record highs toward the end of the year, partly due to its AI strategy expanding beyond search into cloud services and Gemini AI models. Momentum in AI-related investments and rising cloud revenues contributed to positive investor sentiment, placing Alphabet among the better-performing tech giants during the year.Microsoft Saw 15% Gains This Year&nbsp;Microsoft’s stock posted solid gains, though not as dramatic as those of Nvidia or Alphabet. Nevertheless, the company remained among the most valuable in the world. Continued success in cloud computing and AI services, including Azure and Copilot, supported the stock, even as investors balanced near-term AI profit expectations with longer-term growth prospects.Amazon Rose Just 6% In 2025Amazon lagged some of its Magnificent Seven peers in 2025. While AWS remained a key growth engine, retail and broader e-commerce challenges, along with increased competition in the cloud sector, moderated Amazon’s equity gains relative to the stronger AI-driven rallies elsewhere.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/palantir-outperformed-vs-nvidia-microsoft-ai-stocks-2025/cL75psZREDr">Palantir Crushed Nvidia, Microsoft And Most AI Stocks In 2025 — And Investors Didn’t Care About Valuation</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
