London cocoa prices slip as European Q3 grind falls
Adds background, updates prices
LONDON, Oct 17 (Reuters) -London cocoa futures on ICE fell on Thursday, with a drop in the European third-quarter grind reinforcing concerns about weak demand, while coffee and sugar prices were also lower.
COCOA
* March London cocoa LCCc2 was down 0.9% at 5,137 pounds a metric ton at 1308 GMT, slipping further back from a one-month high of 5,481 pounds hit on Wednesday.
* Europe's third-quarter cocoa grind, a measure of demand, fell 3.3% from a year earlier to 354,334 metric tons, data showed earlier, while Asia's third-quarter cocoa grind rose 2.6% year-on-year to 216,998 metric tons.
* Dealers, who said the Europe grind figures were at the lower end of expectations, are now awaiting North America grind data due later this session for further clues as to how demand is reacting to historically high cocoa prices.
* Falling exchange stocks helped to underpin prices. Total valid stocks on the ICE London cocoa contract totalled 29,020 tons as of Oct. 16, versus 150,520 a year ago.
* December New York cocoa CCc1 fell 1.9% to $7,615 a ton.
COFFEE
* December arabica coffee KCc1 fell a marginal 0.2% to $2.5750 per lb, having settled up 0.5% on Wednesday.
* Arabica prices have been rising for much of this year following adverse weather in top producer Brazil, but dealers say they are growing increasingly concerned about demand growth in coffee.
* Food giant Nestle NESN.S cut its full-year sales outlook following weaker-than-expected nine-month underlying sales growth as consumers react to rising prices for its packaged food products, especially coffee and chocolate.
* November robusta coffee LRCc1 fell 2.1% to $4,759 a metric ton, having hit a one-month low of $4,755.
SUGAR
* March raw sugar SBc1 fell 0.9% to 21.81 cents per lb, having closed down 3.6% on Wednesday.
* December white sugar LSUc1 was 0.7% lower at $559.70 a ton, having closed down 2.4% on Wednesday.
