A sharp rise in the British pound, which followed the Bank of England's surprise interest rate hike this morning, kicked off an early wave of buying, as market operators sold London cocoa against dollar-denominated New York futures. But the favorable arbitrage was not enough to sustain the upside momentum, and speculative selling overhead forced yet another test of recent lows toward the $1,350 level. Prices reversed direction again after holding above support, ending the day firmer but well off the session's highs. Nearby December futures rose $8 a tonne on the day, to $1,364, having ranged from $1,352 to $1,370. Second-position March rose $9, while the outer months were up $9 to $15. While the gains of the past two days suggested the market had established a near-term chart base in the $1,345-1,350 area, analysts said continued uncertainty over the size of the West African harvest in the 1996/97 crop year made price direction difficult to predict. "The fundamentals are still up for grabs," said a U.S.-based analyst. "The world wants to wait and see what happens with crop developments." Most traders expect this year's Ivorian crop to come in well below last year's record yield, but forecasters are split on the outlook for the overall supply balance. In the past month, estimates for the world stock deficit have ranged from 87,000 to 260,000 tonnes. With the crop outlook uncertain, processors are likely to restrict buying to light scale-down activity analysts say. "The fact that we still have stocks in the U.S. makes manufacturers hesistant to buy," the analyst added. "Every time December gets up to the $1,400 level, it stops." Technically, December would need to clear $1,375 to continue to generate buying interest, chartists said. An estimated 8,097 lots were exchanged on the day. 311023 MET oct 96
