Working with the London Sugar No.5 series
This is London No. 5 — refined white sugar, quoted in US dollars per tonne — not New York No. 11 raw sugar quoted in cents per pound. The two markets track each other loosely via the refining margin but are different contracts with different units; mixing them (or applying No. 11 analysis to this series) produces subtly wrong numbers everywhere. The series begins late 2017 and carries the standard continuous-CFD roll caveats.
