March NY world sugar #11 (SBH25) Friday closed down -0.12 (-0.62%), and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH25) closed down -3.20 (-0.61%).
Sugar prices Friday posted moderate losses as a rally in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 1-week high weighed on most commodity prices, including sugar. Sugar prices previously moved higher over the past week as strength in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) fueled fund short-covering in sugar futures. On Friday, the real climbed to a 2-month high against the dollar, discouraging export sales from Brazil's sugar producers.
