The article showed graphs w/ sugar prices falling with a soaring dollar index, but the affect on U.S. food prices has been more one of food prices calming down while prices in general stagnate:

imho this will either postpone any fed rate move or it'll make a rate hike super problematic.

On CNN money commodities, they have sugar at 16.79 cents per pound, within the 52-week range of 11.28 to 17.68. This is about 90% at the top of that range.

Gold is at the bottom of its range for the 52-week range.

Good morning everyone, it's raining falling prices outside!  Futures see metals today at -1.23% and stock indexes -0.51%.   Whild this may be just another day of profitaking for stocks after yesterday's pullback in mixed trade, metals are in freefall:  gold'n'silver $1,094.92 and $14.85.  If that weren't enough we also got this:

7:00 AM MBA Mortgage Index
9:00 AM FHFA Housing Price Index
10:00 AM Existing Home Sales
10:30 AM Crude Inventories

I thought this sugar substance you speak of was banned for the common people in the US along with salt, butter and bacon.

Many do not realize the US has a rather large sugar price support program, as do a number of other countries. Worldwide glut of sugar means low market prices and high subsidies. More insanity.

Can we put sugar back in my Coke and Pepsi now instead of high fructose corn syrup?

Answer: of course not. Then I couldn't drink as much. No, seriously, I couldn't finish a 24 oz bottle of Pepsi with sugar a few years back in the Caribbean. Forget about those movie cup sizes!

Prices are tumbling everywhere except where consumers buy sugar.

But most importantly, what’s this got to do with the price of my frozen orange juice futures? ;)

Kinda wish we’d see a coffee price collapse
