Sugar prices Monday posted moderate gains on signs of strength in demand. The delivery to settle the July NY sugar contract, which expired last Friday, totaled 412,400 MT, 70% below the average seen since 2010. Smaller deliveries are a sign of more robust demand as suppliers aren't holding on to large stockpiles of sugar due to the strength in demand.
