September ICE NY cocoa (CCU25) Tuesday closed down -35 (-0.43%), and September ICE London cocoa #7 (CAU25) closed up +51 (+0.91%).
Cocoa prices on Tuesday settled mixed, with NY cocoa sliding to a 4-week low. Forecasts for rain in the Ivory Coast later this week are weighing on cocoa prices. However, Tuesday's decline in the British pound (^GBPUSD) to a 1-week low lifted London cocoa prices. The weaker pound boosts cocoa that is priced in terms of sterling.
