"It was really a nothing day, kind of featureless," said one trader. Benchmark September cocoa fell $9 per tonne on the day, to $1,507, after ranging between $1,516 and $1,504. Second-month December closed down $10, to $1,556, while the back months sagged $4 to $6. The September/December switch ended at $49 compared with $50 at the close on Thursday. Cocoa prices headed lower at the outset, defying pre-opening expectations based on gains racked up on the London market. Traders said strength in the U.S. dollar against the sterling and other European currencies sparked some light arbitrage selling. Scale-down industry buying, however, limited losses and kept prices hovering in a small range for much of the session, they said. Technically, traders pegged September near-term support at $1,496-$1,494, with stronger support noted at $1,475. Resistance was seen at a chart gap between $1,521 and $1,526. On the fundamental side, U.S.-based commodities group Cargill said on Friday it and Groupe d'Investissements et de Participations Afrique (GIP) have agreed to form a joint venture to originate, condition and export cocoa and coffee from Ivory Coast. Also under consideration is a plan to build in the Ivorian capital Abidjan a new cocoa processing plant, which would have an annual capacity of 65,000 tonnes, Cargill Europe said in a statement. Turnover on the day was thin, at an estimated 3,994 lots. 280857 MET jul 97
