March NY world sugar #11 (SBH25) today is down -0.04 (-0.21%), and March London ICE white sugar #5 (SWH25) is down -1.00 (-0.19%).
Sugar prices today are slightly lower as the recent spate of short-covering in sugar futures has subsided. Sugar prices previously moved higher over the past week as strength in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) fueled fund short-covering in sugar futures. On Wednesday, the real rallied to a 2-month high against the dollar, discouraging export sales from Brazil's sugar producers.
