Sugar futures contracts experienced a slight to moderate decline on the New York and London stock exchanges on Friday morning. The drop was due to a profit-taking movement after the first contract hit 21 cents/lb in New York. Raw sugar fell 0.64% in the main contract on the New York Stock Exchange, and 0.73% in London. The market is keeping an eye on the 2023/24 crop in Brazil's Center-South region, which is expected to begin in April, but there are concerns about some Asian origins. The market is also closely monitoring movements in oil and exchange rates.
