On July 11, 2025, Q2 Barchart conclusion in the soft commodity sector, I finished the following:
Futures of sugar and cotton are still under pressure, making their highest levels and lower lower. However, the future contracts for sugar and global cotton provides more value than the other off, as prices are not in a place near the historical highlands. As soft goods are now continuing in the second half of 2025, the weak performance continues compared to the sectors of other basic commodities, after a period when Softs led the assets category in 2023 and 2024. The commodity patrol is a strong force. If the prices of sugar and cotton continue to reach the lowest low levels, they may be excellent candidates for recovery, as low prices cause low production and stocks, which leads to increased consumption and large price restrictions.
