CSCE July futures rose $17 a tonne, to end at $1,486, after trading between $1,494 and $1,459. Second-month September also closed $17 higher, at $1,512, while the back months gained $10 to $16. Traders said the July contract's breach of light technical resistance at $1,480 a tonne triggered buy orders and pushed the spot contract to a peak of $1,494, the bottom of a $1,494-$1,501 chart gap. They noted light origin sales capped today's upswing. "Locals were shooting for the gap, but they didn't get it," said one trader. "It was a solid close and we'll see if it follows through tomorrow. If it fills the gap and settles above it, it would be positive technically." But while traders said much of the day's buying was technically inspired, they noted remarks by the Ivory Coast Commodities Minister and currency fluctuations aided the upswing. "It added a little spark," said one trader. "But I still think this was silly season-type and insurance buying." Ivorian Commodities Minister Guy-Alain Gauze, who was in London for a meeting on coffee, said he planned go to Brazil at the end of June for talks on how to improve prices. Gauze hinted that the Ivory Coast might consider holding back cocoa sales. "This is something we are thinking about," he said. But while today's volume was double Tuesday's turnover -- reaching an estimated 6,531 lots -- traders said activity was still relatively subdued. Despite today's rise, the July contract was still in its recent $1,450-$1,500 trading range, they noted. Technically, trader said after the chart gap, July would probably run into light resistance at $1,510. A major upside hurdle was noted at around $1,530. On the downside, July support was pegged at $1,475-$1,470. 221057 MET may 97
