July ICE NY cocoa (CCN26) on Wednesday closed down -194 (-4.23%), and July ICE London cocoa #7 (CAN26) closed down -159 (-4.63%).
Cocoa prices retreated on Wednesday amid selling pressure from producers who are locking in higher prices after this week's rally to 3.5-month highs. Also, Wednesday's stronger dollar ($DXY) has spurred some long liquidation in cocoa futures.
