Spot May delivery closed up $6 at $1,418 a tonne after ranging from $1,422 to $1,396. Active July finished $10 higher at $1,461 after posting trades from $1,463 to $1,439. The outer months gained $7 to $12. Dealers said most of the day's activity centered on the nearby May/July switch, which widened to 43 today, from 39 at the close Friday. They said switches accounted for much of the day's estimated 11,746-lot turnover. Cocoa prices slipped at the outset on speculative long liquidation after the CFTC Commitments of Traders report for the two weeks ended April 8 showed speculators (non-commercials and nonreportables) were still net long 22,266 lots. But a bigger-than-expected decline in May open interest on Friday helped turn market sentiment around, traders said. May open interest fell 4,021 lots Friday, to 9,556 lots. Traders had expected a decline of some 2,000 to 3,000 lots. "The open interest reflected big liquidation on Friday, which negated the CFTC report," one trader said. "We may see further liquidation ahead of first notice day, but I don't think it will fall apart. It's a very neutral market now." May's first notice day is April 17. Technically, traders said the market's ability to hold Friday's low of $1,433 basis July and $1,396 basis May today was viewed as constructive. July's next major upside objective would be a chart gap between $1,480 and $1,504. A gap above the market also looms for May between $1,452 and $1,473. 151039 MET apr 97
