US cocoa futures rose Friday as a weaker dollar helped the market recover part of the previous day's losses amid lethargic trade.
The New York Board of Trade's active July cocoa contract rose $13, or 0.9 percent, to close at $1,521 a tonne, after trading between $1,514 and $1,530. It fell $19 Thursday. September rose $12 to end at $1,542 a tonne, after trades of $1,536-$1,550. It fell $18 the previous session. The back months were up $1.70 to $14.
