Cocoa prices slide, robusta coffee posts 3rd weekly loss
Adds comments on sugar, coffee; updates prices
NEW YORK, Oct 18 (Reuters) -Cocoa futures closed sharply lower on ICE on Friday as the market digested third-quarter grind data, while robusta coffee posted another weekly loss, the third in a row.
COCOA
* March London cocoa LCCc2 settled down 199 pounds, or 3.8%, to 5,021 pounds per metric ton, sliding further from a one-month high of 5,481 pounds set on Wednesday.
* Dealers said third-quarter grind data issued this week had provided a mixed picture with a year-on-year decline in Europe but rises in Asia and North America.
* They also noted cocoa grinding in top producer Ivory Coast had also been falling.
* North American cocoa processing rose in the third quarter of 2024 to 109,264 metric tons, up 11.6% from the same period a year earlier.
* Market estimates were for an increase of 3% to 5%.
* Dealers said the market remained underpinned by low exchange stocks.
* Total valid stocks on the London cocoa contract totalled 29,020 tons, as of Oct. 17, down from 150,520 a year ago.
* December New York cocoa CCc1 fell 4.1% to $7,450 a ton.
SUGAR
* March raw sugar SBc1 was little changed at 22.18 cents per lb, but still above the prior session's four-week low of 21.71 cents. The contract fell 0.3% in the week.
* "The market appears to be removing some risk premium built up over concern for the 2025/26 (Brazil) crop as dry weather dragged on. Currently, we received decent rain over last weekend, and the forecasters are looking for rain over another two weeks," said the McDougall Global View Sugar Report.
* December white sugar LSUc1 rose 0.2% at $566.60 a ton.
COFFEE
* December arabica coffee KCc1 settled up 2.15 cents, or 0.8%, at $2.573 per lb as dealers continued to assess the extent to which recent rains may have improved the outlook for the 2025 crop in Brazil. The contract gained 2% in the week.
* Rains may have come too late for Brazil's coffee, said farmers and agronomists, expecting a 2025 crop below potential.
* November robusta coffee LRCc1 rose 0.4% at $4,702 a ton, but the contract posted a weekly loss of 3% to make it a 16% loss in the last three weeks.
