The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! Fundamentally, sugar prices are being supported by reduced production in major world growing regions, such as India and Thailand, due to adverse weather like drought. Rising global demand is also a price-friendly element for sugar futures. A move in October sugar futures above chart resistance at this week's high of 16.74 cents would give the bulls more power and it would also become a buying opportunity. The upside price objective would be 18.50 cents, or above. Technical support, for which to place a protective sell stop just below, is located at 16.00 cents.

Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%): Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.

World shares are mixed after China-US talks end without a trade deal
BANGKOK (AP) — World shares were mixed on Wednesday after the U.S. and China ended their latest round of trade talks without a deal. The latest data showed Europe's economy barely grew in the April-June quarter as frantic earlier efforts to ship goods ahead of new U.S. tariffs went into reverse and Germany's economy contracted. The outlook for coming months is mediocre given the 15% tariff imposed on European goods in the U.S. under a EU-U.S. trade deal announced Sunday. The higher tariff will burden European exports with higher costs to either be passed on to U.S. consumers or swallowed in the form of lower profits. Germany's DAX rose 0.2% to 24,274.40, while the CAC 40 in Paris gained 0.6% to 7,907.33. Britain's FTSE 100 shed 0.3% to 9,114.09. The future for the S&P 500 gained nearly 0.1% while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average was barely changed. Beijing's top trade official said China and the United States agreed during two days of talks in Stockholm, Sweden, to work on extending an Aug. 12 deadline for imposing higher tariffs on each other. The U.S. side said an extension was discussed, but not decided on. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said President Donald Trump would make that call. If there is no extension, tariffs could 'boomerang' back to higher levels, he said. China's powerful Politburo met Wednesday and promised help for companies hit by trade shocks, but held back on any specific large government spending commitments. 'It did leave the door open to more support being introduced in future, but the urgency around stimulus appears to have diminished as trade tensions have eased,' Julian Evans-Pritchard of Capital Economics said in a report. A Friday deadline is looming for many of Trump's proposed tariffs on other countries. Several highly anticipated economic reports are also on the way, including the latest monthly update on the job market. 'Markets had been floating on a cloud of trade optimism — first Japan, then the EU — but the sugar high is wearing off. Now, with U.S.-China talks dragging on in Stockholm, there's a growing sense that the momentum is stalling,' Stephen Innes of SPI Asset Management said in a commentary. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index shed 1.4% to 25,176.93, while the Shanghai Composite index gained 0.2% to 3,615.72. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index fell less than 0.1% to 40,654.70. Gains for electronics companies were offset by losses for major exporters like Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 climbed 0.6% to 8,756.40 and in South Korea, the Kospi gained 0.7% to 3,254,47. Taiwan's Taiex rose 1.1%. In India, the Sensex added 0.2%. On Tuesday, U.S. stock indexes edged back from their record levels as a busy week for Wall Street picked up momentum. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% and the Dow lost 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite was down 0.4%. Treasury yields sank as the Federal Reserve began a two-day meeting on interest rates. Despite pressure from President Donald Trump for lower rates, which would give the economy a boost, the widespread expectation is that the Fed will wait for more data about how Trump's tariffs are affecting inflation and the economy before making its next move. The U.S. economy appears to be slowing. One report Tuesday said that U.S. employers were advertising fewer job openings at the end of June than a month before, though still more than economists expected. A separate report said confidence rose among U.S. consumers, but a measure of their expectations about the near term remains below the level that typically signals a recession ahead. In other dealings early Wednesday, U.S. benchmark crude oil shed 57 cents to $68.64 per barrel, while Brent crude, the international standard, gave up 58 cents to $71.10 per barrel. The dollar fell to 148.20 Japanese yen from 148.48 yen. The euro slipped to $1.1542 from $1.1546. Elaine Kurtenbach, The Associated Press

China promises to help companies slammed by tariffs, as talks with the US left in limbo
BANGKOK (AP) — China's top leaders have pledged to help companies slammed by higher U.S. tariffs but held back on major moves after trade talks with the U.S. this week kept businesses and planners in limbo. At their summer economic planning meeting, the powerful Politburo of the ruling Communist Party pledged to stabilize foreign trade and investment. 'We must assist foreign trade enterprises that have been severely impacted, strengthen financing support, and promote the integrated development of domestic and foreign trade,' the official Xinhua News Agency said in reporting the closed door meeting. It mentioned export tax rebates and free trade pilot zones but gave no other specifics. The inconclusive outcome of two days of trade talks in Stockholm, Sweden, leaves open the question of higher tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States. Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said the two sides had agreed to work on extending a deadline for higher tariffs. The U.S. side said the extension was discussed, but not decided. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told reporters after the talks that President Donald Trump would decide whether to extend the Aug. 12 deadline for reaching an agreement or to let tariffs that have been paused for 90 days to 'boomerang' back to a higher level. 'We haven't given the sign-off,' Bessent said, though he emphasized that the talks had been 'very constructive.' China remains one of the biggest challenges for the Trump administration after it has struck deals over elevated tariff rates with other key trading partners — including Britain, Japan and the European Union. Many analysts had expected that the Stockholm talks would result in an extension of current tariff levels, which currently stand at a U.S. tariff of 30% on Chinese goods and a Chinese tariff of 10% on U.S. products, far lower than the triple-digit percentage rates raised in April. The truce in the tariffs war to allow time for talks, agreed on in early May to allow time for negotiations, allowed exporters and other traders to ramp up shipments in hopes of beating any higher tariffs that might follow. The meeting headed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping mostly reiterated Beijing's priorities for the year, including a need to 'unleash domestic demand' which has lagged, leading to a surge of exports by industries unable to find growth at home. It also stressed the need to promote jobs and prevent a 'large scale relapse into poverty.' The economy 'has demonstrated strong vitality and resilience,' the Xinhua report said. But it acknowledged many risks and challenges. That includes reining in brutal competition that has led to damaging price wars among automakers and some other manufacturers and managing excess capacity in some industries, it said. China's economy expanded at a 5.2% annual pace in April-June, slowing slightly from the previous quarter. But analysts have said actual growth may have been significantly slower. Even with the hiatus in higher tariffs, companies are feeling a pinch. Industrial profits in China fell 1.8% in the first half of the year and 4.3% in June, according to data released earlier this week. It's unclear what level of tariffs might eventually be imposed on Chinese exports to the United States. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Thursday that Beijing hopes the U.S. side would follow through on the 'important consensus' reached between Trump and Xi in a phone call to promote stable relations between the world's two largest economies. But Guo reiterated China's stance on its U.S. objections to its purchases of oil and gas from Russia, which Bessent raised during the talks in Stockholm, threatening more tariffs. 'China will take reasonable measures to ensure energy security in accordance with its national interests,' Guo said. 'There are no winners in a tariff war. Coercion and pressure will not solve the problem. China will resolutely safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests.'
