July ICE NY cocoa (CCN23) on Wednesday closed down -6 (-0.20%), and July ICE London cocoa #7 (CAK23) closed down -3 (-0.13%).
Cocoa prices Wednesday closed slightly lower, pressured by a rally in the dollar index to a 2-month high. Losses in London cocoa were limited after the British pound (^GBPUSD) Wednesday fell to a 5-week low against the dollar. A weaker pound boosts cocoa that is priced in terms of sterling.
