COFFEE
* March arabica coffee KCc2 rose 2.1% to $1.6615 per lb by 1517 GMT as the market pulled further away from last week’s 16-month low of $1.5405.
* The contract was on track for a weekly gain of 7.1%, regaining most of the ground lost the previous week when prices fell by 7.7%.
* Fitch Solutions said in a note that despite the rebound, “prices remain capped by a weak global outlook and expectations of a move to a production surplus, led by an improved production outlook in Brazil following recent rainfall.”
* January robusta coffee LRCc1 rose 0.9% to $1,857 a tonne.
* The robusta market has been supported by rains in Vietnam that have disrupted the harvest.
SUGAR
* March raw sugar SBc1 fell 0.4% to 19.48 cents per lb with the contract on track for a weekly loss of about 3%.
* Dealers noted mills in Brazil continued to favour using cane for sugar rather than ethanol production.
