US benchmark cocoa futures finished up 1.6 percent on Wednesday, lifted by speculative buying and a lack of producer sales in an otherwise quiet trading session, market sources said.
The New York Board of Trade's (NYBOT) active March cocoa contract gained $24 to settle at $1,469 a tonne, after trading from $1,437 to $1,475. May cocoa likewise advanced $24 to end at $1,491 a tonne, while back-month contracts climbed $23 to $25.
