Hedge Selling Weighs on Cocoa Prices

May ICE NY cocoa (CCK26) on Wednesday closed down -80 (-2.25%), and May ICE London cocoa #7 (CAK26) closed down -56 (-2.14%).

Cocoa prices surged on Tuesday in hopes of a demand recovery after Malaysia reported that Q1 cocoa grindings rose by +8.7% y/y to 91,946 MT.  Q1 European, Asian, and North American cocoa grindings will be reported later this week.
