September ICE NY cocoa (CCU24) on Tuesday closed up +131 (+1.50%), and September ICE London cocoa #7 (CAU24) closed up +10 (+0.15%).
Cocoa prices Tuesday moved higher as a slide in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 1-week low sparked some short covering in cocoa futures. However, a rally in the British pound (^GBPUSD) to a 1-week high Tuesday limited gains in London cocoa as the stronger pound undercut cocoa priced in terms of sterling.
