Sugar prices fell sharply to 1-week lows today amid weakness in crude oil prices. WTI crude oil (CLN26) is down more than -5% at a 7-week low today, which undercuts ethanol prices and could potentially prompt the world’s sugar mills to divert more cane crushing toward sugar production rather than ethanol, thus boosting sugar supplies.
