Sugar price crumbles

Sugar has rushed downwards of late - and may weaken further before long
June 20, 2012

Sugar's price has decayed by some 30 per cent over the past three months and the rot looks set to continue, says Ragu Dharmaratnam of Baselica.

A bearish 'head-and-shoulders' pattern was recently completed when the price dropped below 21¢. This creates a short-selling opportunity, with a price target of 14¢. Stop-losses could be placed just above 21¢.
