Sugar No 11 details

Sugar No 11 is the name of futures contract that is considered the benchmark for all futures and options contracts of sugar traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

Sugar production takes place mostly in tropical and subtropical climates in countries like Brazil, India, China, Thailand and Australia. While changes in climate are the most significant variables to sugar production, other factors also influence the commodity’s price. Government regulation of sugar content in foods or product labelling in large markets can change the demand for sugar. Sugar’s increasing use in biofuel production also influences its price.

A single contract of sugar represents 112,000 pounds of unrefined can sugar.
