October raw sugar settled down 0.06 cent, or 0.4 percent, at 14.27 cents per lb. Some commercial longs are rolling their positions into the March contract. There probably some March and May price fixing going on, too. The premium for white over raw sugar – a measure of the profitability of refining – has recovered only slightly after falling to its weakest in 2-1/2 years this week in the run-up to an expected large harvest in the EU. ICE October white sugar was up $5.70, or 1.5 percent, at $374.70 a tonne.
