But after surviving a test of key support, speculative buying helped the market recover some lost ground, they added. Benchmark March futures ended $8 a tonne lower, at $1,316, after ranging between $1,318 and $1,299. Second-position May fell $9, to $1,348, while the rest closed $8 to $13 weaker. The day's volume was fairly light, at an estimated 5,301 lots. The market gapped lower at the opening, as strength in U.S. dollar against the British pound sparked arbitrage selling of dollar-denominated CSCE futures. Currency pressure briefly pushed the March contract below key support at $1,300, but local short covering stemmed losses and encouraged a round of speculative buying. Technically, traders said the March contract would face resistance at around $1,320, then $1,335. On the downside, $1,300 continued to provide near-term support, they said, with the next level seen at $1,280. Refco Inc analyst Ann Prendergast said the market is likely to trade sideways until a clearer picture of the Ivorian crop emerged. While the early rate of arrivals indicated the 1996/97 crop would come in below last season's record yield, she said a pick up in the pace of arrivals during January could point to a slightly larger crop than initially anticipated. But one trader said arrivals in early January typically pick up following the holiday season. He noted cumulative arrivals from Ghana, which are generally more reliable than Ivorian arrival estimates, were lagging behind last year's. "Ghana cumulative arrivals are well down from last year there is no reason why the Ivory Coast is not going to be down similarly," he said. "And consumption is continuing to do well." 290947 MET jan 97
