Spot March futures slid $22 a tonne on the day, to $1,272, after ranging from $1,293 to $1,268. Most-active May fell $18, to $1,306, while the outer months finished $14 to $20 lower. Prices headed into negative territory at the opening, with losses on the London cocoa market confirming bearish sentiment. Traders said downward momentum accelerated after the March contract breached near-term chart support at $1,288. March cocoa has tumbled $51 -- or nearly four percent -- in two days despite a pair of estimates projecting a global supply deficit in the 1996/97 season. "The market ignored news of a deficit," one trader said. "If you put out bullish news and a market does not react, it is very bearish" Earlier this week the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) forecast a world cocoa deficit of 225,000 tonnes in 1996/97 (Oct/Sept) compared with an estimated surplus of 133,000 tonnes in 1995/96. The ICCO report came on the heels of an estimate by U.K. trade house E.D.& F. Man, which forecast a supply deficit of between 170,000 and 230,000 tonnes in 1996/97. But Prudential Securities analyst Arthur Stevenson said good stock availablity in the near-term has weighed on values. "The deficit is a longer term statisical physical situation," Stevenson said. "In the short-term, supplies are ample and there is a lot of cocoa in the pipeline." Traders the nearby switch continued to trade actively, as operators continued to roll spot March into second-month May and July ahead of March's first notice day February 14. On the charts, March's life-of-contract of $1,259 was seen as nearby support, while resistance was seen at $1,300. Volume Wednesday reached an estimated 10,917 lots. 071027 MET feb 97
