May NY world sugar #11 (SBK25) Thursday closed down -0.70 (-3.57%), and May London ICE white sugar #5 (SWK25) closed down -15.00 (-2.70%).
Sugar prices Thursday sold off to 1-1/2 week lows after the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) sank to a 3-week low against the dollar. The weaker real encourages export selling by Brazil's sugar producers, prompting long liquidation in sugar futures.
