March NY world sugar #11 (SBH26) on Thursday closed down -0.06 (-0.40%), and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH26) closed down -1.90 (-0.45%).
Sugar prices gave up early gains on Thursday and turned lower after crude oil prices plunged. WTI crude (CLF26) tumbled to a 7-week low on Thursday, which undercuts ethanol prices and may prompt the world's sugar mills to divert more cane crushing toward sugar production rather than ethanol, thus boosting sugar supplies.
