March NY world sugar #11 (SBH25) Friday closed up +0.02 (+0.09%), and December London ICE white sugar #5 (SWZ24) closed up +0.90 (+0.16%).
Sugar prices posted modest gains on Friday, as a weaker dollar (DXY00) spurred short covering in sugar futures. On Thursday, NY sugar fell to a 4-week low, and London sugar slid to a 1-week low on forecasts for rain in Brazil. Meteorologist Climatempo said abundant rains are expected for Brazil's Center-South over the next week, boosting soil moisture levels and increasing sugarcane yields. The Center-South is Brazil's largest sugar-producing region.
