[NEW YORK] Speculators resumed their bullish bets in raw sugar futures on ICE US, sharply increasing their net long position in the sweetener in the week to March 8 as energy prices soared, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed on Friday (Mar 11).
Money managers and hedge funds added 63,497 contracts to their net long position in sugar to 99,091 in the period.
