May NY world sugar #11 (SBK25) today is down -0.03 (-0.17%), and August London ICE white sugar #5 (SWQ25) is down -2.90 (-0.57%).

Today's -3% fall in WTI crude oil (CLM5) undercuts ethanol prices and may prompt the global sugar mills to divert more cane crushing toward sugar production rather than ethanol, thus boosting sugar supplies.
