July ICE NY cocoa (CCN25) Tuesday closed down -25 (-0.26%), and July ICE London cocoa #7 (CAN25) closed down -82 (-1.23%).
Cocoa prices on Tuesday closed lower, with London cocoa posting a 2-week low. Forecasts for favorable rain in West Africa are expected to aid cocoa crop development in the world's largest cocoa-growing regions, a bearish factor for prices. Meteorologist Vaisala said that moderate showers are expected to continue into this week in the cocoa-growing regions of West Africa.
