Barchart - Sugar prices settled mixed on Thursday, with London sugar posting a 9.75-month nearest-futures high. NY sugar fell on Thursday, and London sugar erased most of its gains amid weakness in crude oil prices. WTI crude oil (CLQ26) tumbled to a 4.25-month low on Thursday, undercutting ethanol prices and potentially persuading global sugar millers to divert more cane crushing toward sugar production rather than ethanol, thereby boosting sugar supplies.
