Dollar Strength Weighs on Sugar Prices

October NY world sugar #11 (SBV25) on Monday closed down -0.08 (-0.49%), and October London ICE white sugar #5 (SWV25) did not trade as markets in the UK were closed for a bank holiday.

Sugar prices on Monday settled lower due to strength in the dollar (DXY00).  Prices have also been under pressure over the past week and posted 2-week lows last Monday on the outlook for Brazil's sugar mills to increase production.  Last Monday, Covrig Analytics reported that Brazil's sugar mills are prioritizing sugar production over ethanol, crushing more cane for sugar.  This trend is expected to continue as harvesting peaks, driven by drier cane crops that prompt mills to produce more sugar.
