Sugar prices rallied for a third day on Friday and posted 1-1/2 week highs. Over the past three sessions, strength in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) has prompted fund short covering in sugar futures. The real climbed to a 1-3/4 month high Friday, discouraging export selling from Brazil’s sugar producers.
