SUGAR TURNING INTO WHITE GOLD
Indian Economy & Market|September 2021
Sugar sector, for long, has always been considered as cyclical in nature. Nevertheless, some structural change that is taking place now makes it a sustainable business and reduces the cyclicality.

SUGAR TURNING INTO WHITE GOLD

Recently global sugar prices have crossed US cents 20 per pound from a low of US cents 10 per pound one year back and more importantly domestic prices are following global price trend and moved to a four-year high of Rs 34 per kg in Maharashtra and Rs 36 per kg in Uttar Pradesh. The impact of this on share prices of sugar companies is substantial. Year till date most of the sugar companies shares have doubled in their values and some of them have even seen an increase by three fold.

Most old-time investors, who have seen many market cycles, might see this as another sugar cycle. They may also think that it will reverse soon. Their point of view has a reason behind it. They are still under impression that sugar is a highly regulated, cyclical commodity with greater degree of local level of politics. All these factors have led to sugar stocks being under-owned in one’s portfolio.

Nevertheless, we believe that the current change in the landscape of sugar sector is structural and will have far reaching consequences on the entire sector. Factors such as improving sugar prices, government measures and higher distillery capex to leverage ethanol opportunity will help to sustain the current momentum in sugar companies.

NEW INVESTMENT PRODUCT CATEGORY IS SEBI'S LATEST MOVE COMMENDABLE?

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a consultation paper proposing a new investment product category aimed at addressing a specific market need. This proposed asset class would offer investment options that sit between mutual funds (MFS) and PMS, filling a gap and providing greater flexibility in portfolio management. The new investment vehicle is designed for investors who are prepared to take on riskier market positions but find PMS schemes or AIFs out of reach. SEBI after reviewing the feedback and finalizing the regulations through stakeholder discussions, may issue the final regulations.

What Is In Store For The Indian Economy?

Until the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, when the Bharatiya Janata Party secured 282 seats and Narendra Modi ascended to power, India experienced 21 years of coalition governments. A decade later, the BJP holds 240 seats in the Lok Sabha, and India is once again governed by a coalition. Fitch has indicated that coalition politics and a weakened mandate for the NDA could hinder the passage of ambitious reform legislation. It raises the question: Do coalition governments impede the economic reform agenda?

THE IMMINENT MIDDLE EAST WAR

Recent intelligence from a variety of sources points to an Israeli war against Hezbollah, which is an Iranian proxy. Hezbollah is systematically attacking Israeli bases, radars, intelligence-collections facilities and other defense system components. Now the attacks are spreading to include Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Galilee. You’re just not hearing about it in the mainstream media. These attacks have three effects: They break down Israeli military and intelligence systems, terrorize the civilian population and handicap Israel’s ability to conduct air attacks on Syria or Lebanon. James Rickards points out why all these are imminent.
