Sugar prices on Tuesday settled moderately higher as they consolidated below Monday's 3-week highs. Over the past week, recent strength in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) has fueled fund short covering in sugar futures. The real on Tuesday rallied to a 2-month high against the dollar, discouraging export selling from Brazil's sugar producers.
