Sugar prices this morning are moderately lower on forecasts for rain in Brazil. Forecaster Maxar Technologies said today that moderate rain is expected in Brazil's sugar-growing regions over the next five days, which fueled long liquidation in sugar futures. Also, weakness in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) weighed on sugar after the real today fell to a 1-week low against the dollar. The weaker real encourages export selling from Brazil's sugar producers.
