Cash flow is returning to the raw materials market.

Investment capital is flowing back into the global commodities market, with crude oil prices reversing course and rising sharply.

According to the Vietnam Commodity Exchange (MXV), after five consecutive recovery sessions, the MXV-Index closed last week's trading session up more than 3.6% to 2,228 points.

Buying pressure completely dominated the energy market. Specifically, the prices of both crude oil commodities recovered simultaneously despite concerns surrounding OPEC+'s decision to increase production.

Specifically, Brent crude oil prices closed at $66.47 per barrel, up 5.88% from last week's close. WTI crude oil prices also recorded a weekly increase of 6.23%, reaching $64.58 per barrel.

According to expert analysis, many investors had actually expected even higher production increases, so OPEC+'s decision was not a major surprise.

Furthermore, information about the risk of supply disruptions from Canada and Venezuela further fueled strong buying pressure in the market, contributing to the rise in oil prices.

In addition, over the past week, S&P Global also released a series of key PMI indicators for the US economy , showing positive signals across the board.

According to MXV's observations, contrary to the general trend of industrial raw materials, the prices of the two sugar commodities continued their downward trend for the fourth consecutive week due to pressure from oversupply and reduced global consumption.

Specifically, the price of refined sugar decreased by 3.28% compared to the previous week's closing price, falling to $363/ton - the lowest level in nearly four years, while the price of white sugar decreased by 2.28%, to $465/ton.

According to the USDA's recently released global sugar supply and demand report for the 2025-2026 crop year, the global sugar surplus is expected to more than double, reaching 11.4 million tons compared to the previous crop year.

The increase in supply mainly comes from major sugar-producing countries such as Brazil, Thailand, and China. Notably, India's sugar production recorded outstanding growth of 25% thanks to favorable weather conditions and expanded planted area, which put downward pressure on sugar prices.
