Sugar prices rebounded by 3 per cent to Rs 2,576 per quintal in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions after demand picked up in the spot market.

Market analysts said fresh positions were built-up by speculators after demand improved in the spot market but adequate supplies from millers restricted the rise.
