Last Updated: 2026/06/05, New YORK / London (Reuters)-ICE cocoa futures closed lower on Friday as late selling pushed prices back from a 33-month high, but the market rose for the fourth week in a row. Arabica coffee futures rose, boosted by low forecasts for crop yields in Brazil.

Raw sugar in New York and London rose after hitting multi-week lows.

After ICE cocoa futures were driven by technical buying and July / December contract spreads to their highest level since August 2011, a round of selling appeared before the close, closing lower. The option contract expires in July.

The ICE- cocoa contract hit a three-year high of $3106 in July before closing down $13, or 0.4%, at $3079 a tonne. The trading volume is more than double the average.

London International Financial Futures and options Exchange (LIFFE)-September cocoa futures fell 4 pounds, or 0.2%, to 1941 pounds per tonne.

ICE- July Arabica coffee futures changed from falling to rising, closing up 2.95 cents, or 1.7 percent, at $1.7210 a pound.

Traders said covering short positions and stop-loss buying rallied the market. Previously, Brazil's National Coffee Association said it maintained its 2014 / 15 Brazilian coffee production forecast at 401-4.33 million bales (60kg each). So far, this estimate is at the low end of the market forecast range.

Coffee production in Brazil remains uncertain and the January-February drought has damaged the growing areas of Arabica coffee beans in Brazil.

LIFFE- September Robusta coffee futures closed up $7, or 0.4%, at $1922 a tonne.

Sugar prices rose in volume before the weekend, and buying surfaced in late trading, turning the market from a decline to a rise.

ICE- July raw sugar futures closed up 0.09 cents, or 0.5%, at 16.92 cents a pound, falling below the key support level of 17 cents on Thursday. The recent-month contract earlier hit a low of 16.77 cents since April 22.

The LIFFE- August white sugar contract fell as low as $457, closing up $10, or 0.02%, at $460.20 a tonne.
