Sugar prices on Monday recovered from early losses and closed sharply higher on short-covering after recent losses. On Monday, NY sugar initially fell to a 3-1/4 month low, and London sugar fell to a 2-month low, as an increase in Brazil’s sugar production alleviated supply concerns. Last Wednesday, Conab raised its 2023/24 Brazil sugar production estimate by +15% to 46.9 MMT from an August estimate of 40.9 MMT.
