price differential between the spot cash value and front-month futures
contracts.
“By offering the sugar industry a choice of reference, we’re making it easier for them to address various workflow needs with a single, independent source of both outright price assessments and futures differentials,” said Jonathan Singer, founder of Asian FTG Market Eye and now Global Director for Agriculture at Asian FTG.
The new
offering includes four new outright price assessments for raw sugar and seven
new outright price assessments for white sugar.
