Sugar prices fall as Brazilian crop outlook improves; coffee rises
Adds comments on sugar, coffee; updates prices
LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - Raw sugar futures fell on Tuesday, weighed down by an improving outlook from the next sugarcane harvest in Brazil after recent rains, while coffee futures were up.
SUGAR
* March raw sugar SBc1 settled down 0.03 cent, or 0.1%, at 21.90 cents per lb.
* Dealers said there had been good rainfall in Centre-South Brazil, the most important region for sugarcane, potentially improving the outlook for the next crop.
* Brazil's currency BRL= remains near the lowest value against the dollar since 2021, which drives mills from the country to sell futures in New York for hedging.
* "The weakness in the real... and the rain falling in Brazil have certainly given them (mills) more confidence in fixing (prices for) the 25/26 crop," said the McDougall Sugar Report.
* December white sugar LSUc1 was little changed at $555.90 a metric ton.
COCOA
* March London cocoa LCCc2 settled down 12 pounds, or 0.2%, to 5,393 pounds per ton, falling further from the previous session's 2-1/2 month high of 5,500 pounds.
* Dealers said the market had derived support from the slow pace of sales by farmers in Ghana, though port arrivals in top grower Ivory Coast are running well above levels this time last year.
* March New York cocoa CCc2 fell 0.3% to $6,946 a ton, boosted partly by a weaker dollar .
COFFEE
* December arabica coffee KCc1 gained 1.7% at $2.5015 per lb, extending the market's rebound from Friday's two-month low of $2.4130.
* Dealers said a slowdown in selling by Brazilian producers after the recent decline in prices had helped the market to regain some ground.
* Rains in Brazil have, however, aided coffee tree flowering and improved the outlook for next year's crop.
* January robusta coffee LRCc2 rose 1.3% at $4,372 a ton.
