Sugar prices on Friday posted moderate losses, with NY sugar falling to a 3-1/2 week low. Weakness in crude prices Friday weighed on sugar as WTI crude (CLF24) fell more than -1%. Weak crude prices undercut ethanol prices and may prompt global sugar mills to divert cane crushing toward sugar production rather than ethanol, thus boosting sugar supplies.
