May NY world sugar #11 (SBK25) Friday closed down -0.37 (-1.96%), and May London ICE white sugar #5 (SWK25) closed down -7.10 (-1.32%).
Sugar prices Friday retreated for a third day and posted 2-week lows due to weakness in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL). The real tumbled to a 1-month low against the dollar Friday, encouraging export selling by Brazil's sugar producers and prompting long liquidation in sugar futures.
