December ICE NY cocoa (CCZ26) is up +57 (+0.96%) today, and December ICE London cocoa #7 (CAZ26) is up +64 (+1.48%).
Cocoa prices are moving higher today as they continue to trade sideways between last Tuesday’s 3-week low and the 11.5-month high from August 31. Gains in London cocoa accelerated today after the British pound (^GBPUSD) fell to a 5-week low. The weaker pound boosts cocoa priced in sterling.
