Sugar prices are moving higher today but remain below Mondays' 2-month highs. Today's +8% surge in crude oil prices (CLJ26) is supporting sugar. Higher crude oil prices support ethanol prices, encouraging the world's sugar mills to divert cane crushing toward ethanol production rather than sugar, thereby reducing sugar supplies.
