Spot March futures slid $29 a tonne on the day, to $1,294, after ranging from $1,324 to $1,288. Most-active May fell $28, to $1,324, while the outer months finished $26 to $31 lower. The market drifted in negative territory for most of the morning, with losses on the London cocoa market setting a weak tone. "We were just following London down," one floor trader said. "They looked very weak." But downward momentum hastened after the March contract breached near-term chart support at $1,311-$1,309 and activated a series of sell-stops. Traders said much of the day's action focused on the nearby switch, as operators continued to roll spot March into second-month May ahead of March's delivery period February 14. Technically, Allendale analyst Jim Cordier said the March contract appeared poise to test $1,259, its life-of-contract low set two weeks ago. "The short-term, cocoa looks in bad shape," Cordier said. "It will probably test the lows." Fundamentally, one trader said good stock availablity nearby and the perception of plentiful amounts of cocoa in the midst of arrivals has wieghed on sentiment. But the likelihood of a supply deficit in the 1996/97 season should help cocoa values in the long-term, he said. Last week, U.K. trade house E.D.& F. Man forecast a supply deficit of between 170,000 and 230,000 tonnes in 1996/97 due to strong consimption and an estimated decline in production. Volume Tuesday reached an estimated 13,338 lots. 051011 MET feb 97
