Benchmark December cocoa rose $16 a tonne to $1,603, near the top of the day's $1,587-1,607 trading range. May futures rose $13 to $1,638, with the remaining months all ending $15 higher. Currency-linked buying underpinned CSCE cocoa prices again Friday, as dealers capitalized on a weaker U.S. dollar to sell London positions in favor of New York. The pound rose to $1.6735 Friday, up from $1.6690 at the previous close. The gains in New York far outpaced London, where the LIFFE March contract rose 1 stg to close at 1,070 stg per tonne. Traders also cited speculative book-squaring, as dealers sought to register gains at the end of the month. From a fundamental point of view, signs of steady early shipments of the 1997/98 cocoa crop in West Africa would likely put a cap on the market in the near term, traders said. "The cocoa market will probably continue to see good arrivals in the Ivory Coast and move sideways to lower," said one trader. Scale-down trade buying helped to reinforce support in the $1,580s basis December, but the market's failure to clear even minor resistance levels today weakened the technical outlook heading into next week, dealers said. Important upside objectives were noted at $1,608, followed by $1,615-1,616 and $1,623. Below the market, major support was seen at $1,570. An estimated 4,478 lots changed hands on the day. 031127 MET nov 97
