May ICE NY cocoa (CCK26) closed down 18 ticks (-0.54%) while May ICE London cocoa #7 (CAK26) closed up 7 ticks (+0.29%) on Friday. Prices settled mixed largely due to currency swings, with a rally in the dollar index ($DXY) to a ~3.5-month high pressuring NY cocoa. The move appears FX-driven and suggests short-term volatility rather than a clear shift in cocoa supply/demand fundamentals.
