May NY world sugar #11 (SBK26) today is up +0.12 (+0.77%), and May London ICE white sugar #5 (SWK26) is up +1.50 (+0.33%).
Sugar prices recovered from 1.5-week lows today and moved higher as short covering emerged in sugar futures after the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) rallied to a 1.5-week high against the dollar. The stronger real discourages export sales from Brazil's sugar producers. Today's rally in WTI crude oil (CLK26) to a 3-week high was also supportive of sugar prices.
