March delivery settled unchanged at $1,338 a tonne, after ranging between $1,345 to $1,328. Second-month May also ended unchanged, at $1,364, while the back months finished $2 to $4 firmer. The market opened firmer after U.S. 1996 fourth quarter cocoa grindings exceeded expectations, but steady speculative liquidation quickly drove prices to their lowest levels in nearly 10 months. But traders said a lack of follow-through to the downside prevented the March contract from testing the $1,322 mark, its life-of-contract low. "There was no big push at the lows, no momentum to carry this market further down," one trader said. "Right now, cocoa is just the picture of stability." U.S. grindings in the fourth quarter of 1996 rose by 10.73 percent compared with the same year-ago period to 95,352 tonnes. Analysts forecast an increase of three to five percent. But disappointing liquor and butter figures offset the positive grind, traders and analysts said. The quantity of liquor melted dropped by 31.60 percent versus fourth-quarter 1995 levels to 1,554 tonnes, while the total butter melted fell by 10.60 percent to 15,607 tonnes. A downward revision of 1995 fourth quarter total to 86,116 tonnes compared with 93,320 tonnes initially reported also weighed on sentiment, they said. "The revision undermines the whole reporting procedure and does dilute the impact of the data," Prudential Securities analyst Arthur Stevenson said. On the charts, traders pegged March near-term support at at $1,322. Resistance was put at today's high of $1,345. Traders await the CFTC Commitment of Traders report due late Friday. They expected the data to show an increase in speculative (non-commercial and non-reportable) short positions. Turnover was moderate, at an estimated 6,960 lots. 201009 MET jan 97
