International Market:
According to reports, sugar prices on Friday settled mixed with London sugar at a 2-1/4 month high. Weakness in the Brazilian real against the dollar on Friday undercut NY sugar while strength in crude oil and weakness in the British pound gave London sugar prices a lift.
NY sugar fell back from a 1-week high Friday and turned lower on weakness in the Brazilian real against the dollar. The real on Friday fell -0.37% but remained above Thursday’s record low of 5.970 reals/USD. The weakness in the real is bearish for sugar since it encourages export selling by Brazil’s sugar producers.
WTI crude oil on Friday rallied more than +6% to a 6-week high, which benefits ethanol prices and may prompt Brazil’s sugar mills to divert more cane crushing toward ethanol production rather than sugar production, thus curbing sugar supplies.
