At the close of trading on Wednesday, the May world sugar No. 11 in New York (SBK24) added 0.13 points (+0.60%), reaching a level of 21.77, while May London white sugar ICE No. 5 (SWK24) grew by 8.90 points (+1.44%), closing at 628.80, according to Barchart.
The price of sugar experienced a moderate increase on Wednesday, bouncing back from a week's low, as the strengthening of the Brazilian real stimulated the closing of short positions in sugar futures. The Brazilian real exchange rate (^USDBRL) increased by 0.67% on Wednesday, slightly recovering from Tuesday's 4.5-month low against the dollar. The appreciation of the real negatively affects the export sales of Brazilian sugar producers.
