CSCE cocoa futures settled lower Tuesday, pulling back from a near 1-month high, as prices mirrored a downside reversal in London market, as hedge and trade selling and profit-taking there pressured prices, traders said.
"We followed London lower today on some spec and trade selling after the market's failure to attract any buyers this morning," said a broker.
