Raw sugar futures tumbled in early trade Wednesday on speculative sales, and brokers said the market may post more losses if it stays below the psychological 10-cent level. "The specs leaned on it hard, but there seems to be pretty good support at 10. If we close below 10, we could go to 9.90 or lower," a floor dealer said, referring to the March contract.
