Sugar prices Tuesday recovered from 1-week lows and settled moderately higher as a decline in the dollar index (DXY00) sparked short covering in sugar futures. Sugar prices have rallied over the past two weeks, with NY sugar posting a 1-month high last Tuesday and London sugar posting a 4-month high on signs of lower global sugar production.
