Sugar prices Wednesday closed lower on warmer Brazilian weather forecasts that reduced the chances for damaging frost. Also, sugar saw carry-over pressure from Sunday's news that China's May sugar imports sank -87% y/y to 40,000 MT. China is the world's largest sugar importer. Sugar prices also saw some long liquidation pressure as July sugar prices fell back from last Friday's 1-month high.
