Sugar prices Tuesday retreated from new 12-year highest futures highs and closed moderately lower as a slump in crude prices sparked long liquidation in sugar futures. On Tuesday, WTI crude (CLZ23) plunged more than -4% to a 3-1/2 month low, which undercuts ethanol prices and may prompt the world’s sugar mills to divert more cane crushing toward sugar production than ethanol, thus boosting sugar supplies.
