Sugar prices Tuesday posted moderate losses as weakness in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) sparked long liquidation in sugar futures. The real on Tuesday dropped to a 4-1/2 month low against the dollar before recovering late in the session. The weaker real encourages export selling from Brazil’s sugar producers.
