Cocoa Finishes Slightly Higher on Reduced Cocoa Supplies from the Ivory Coast

Sep ICE NY cocoa (CCU23) on Monday closed +2 (+0.06%), and Sep ICE London cocoa #7 (CAU23) closed +5 (+0.19%).

Cocoa prices Monday closed slightly higher, with London cocoa posting a 1-1/2 week high.   Reduced cocoa supplies from the Ivory Coast are bullish for prices after Ivory Coast farmers shipped 2.3 MMT of cocoa from Oct 1-July 23, down -4.2% y/y.  The Ivory Coast is the world's largest cocoa producer.  London cocoa also found support on British pound weakness (^GBPUSD) as the pound fell to a 2-week low Monday.  A weaker pound benefits cocoa priced in sterling.
