Adds comments, weekly price moves
NEW YORK, Aug 23 (Reuters) -Raw sugar and robusta coffee futures on ICE posted strong gains on Friday as investors increased allocation to agricultural commodities after dovish comments fromFederal Reserve chair Jerome Powell about interest rates.
SUGAR
* October raw sugar SBc1 settled up 0.54 cent, or 3%, at 18.39 cents per lb. The contract gained 2% in the week.
* Dealers said the recovery from the almost two-year low of 17.52 cents - hit on both Tuesday and Wednesday - was largely technically driven with a boost from the macroeconomic news.
* "This is a very bullish macro environment for agriculture futures heading into the final trading week before Labor Day," said Peak Trading Research.
* Fires on cane fields in the main sugar producing region in Brazil led to the closure of a large mill owned by RaizenRAIZ4.SA, the company said.
* October white sugar LSUc1 rose 2.7% at $525.70 a metric ton.
COFFEE
* November robusta coffee LRCc2 settled up $141, or 3.1%, at $4,715 a ton, after hitting the highest price in at least 16 years at $4,728 a ton. The contract gained 6% in the week.
* Dealers said robusta was supported by tight fundamentals, with reduced global supplies, and the favourable macro environment.
* Analyst BMI said in a note that Vietnamese exports had fallen due to tight supplies in the world's largest robusta producer while the prospects for the next harvest had been dented by below-average rainfall.
* December arabica coffee KCc2 rose 1.8% at $2.473 per lb.
* A Reuters poll indicated prices could rise further towards year-end.
COCOA
* December New York cocoa CCc2 settled up $61, or 0.8%, to $7,811 a ton after settinga one-month high of $7,915 on Wednesday.
* Dealers said expectations that crops in West Africa would rebound significantly in the 2024/25 season had faded slightly, with Ghana's Cocobod this week cutting its forecast for the coming crop because of a lack of rain.
* "The ICCO will publish new forecasts at the end of next week. Due to the robust grinding figures for the second quarter, the supply deficit could even be slightly larger," Commerzbank said in a note on Friday.
* December London cocoa LCCc2 rose 0.05% to 5,472pounds a ton.
