Mish’s Daily: Sugar Prices Soar – What Could it Mean?

Mish’s Daily: Sugar Prices Soar – What Could it Mean?
Written by Michele ‘Mish’ Schneider

What if sugar futures are really onto something?
What if they are relaying food shortages?
More social disruption?
The Start of Russian hoarding?
Which leads to Geopolitical hell?
And all the inflation theories that could still develop are staring us right in the face?

In the face of a rising U.S. dollar..
In the face of higher yields and a more hawkish Fed..
In the face of some cooling inflation indicators and a correction in gold..
In the face of a soft GDP..
In the face of a persistent trading ranges in the key indices..
Sugar has gone up 225% since April 2020.
Sugar led the inflation rout in 1976 and then again in 1979.
Sugar is in pretty much everything we consume.
Heck, even Apple just announced a way to gauge your sugar levels if you have diabetes (1 in 3 Americans do)..in other words, eat sugar; we (Apple) got you.
The point is this..
Should this rout continue-pay attention-AI and growth stocks will not help feed the planet-not for a long time.
