Sugar futures prices saw a moderate increase on the New York and London stock exchanges on Tuesday morning. The market's gains were extended due to continued oil support, with the most traded month of raw sugar on the New York Stock Exchange rising 0.67% to 21.07 cents/lb, and the first contract in London appreciating by 0.81% to US$ 608.40 a tonne. The market's attention was also drawn to Asia, with concerns about crops as India, a major sugar-producing country, is expected to produce less sweetener this season due to mill closures.
