Sugar prices on Tuesday closed moderately lower as they gave back some of Monday’s sharp gains. Sugar prices have tumbled over the past seven weeks due to ramped-up sugar production in Brazil. Last Thursday, NY sugar fell to a 1-1/2 year nearest-futures low, and London sugar dropped to a 1-1/4 year low on the outlook for ample global sugar supplies.
