Sugar price has reached highest level at least in seven months. March contract traded as high as 14.39 cents/pound.
According to some analysts, dryness in India and harvest delays in Brazil have contributed to the price.

Sugar raises hopes that other soft commodities might turn around as well. In New Zealand dairy prices are up for fourth consecutive auctions.
Last week's CFTC report shows that hedge funds undertook sharp wave of short covering in agricultural commodities led by sugar.
