COCOA continued to gain after higher launch of today's trading. However, part of the gains was trimmed later on and it cannot be ruled out that sellers will attempt to fill the bulish gap. Data on positioning that will be released in 2 weeks will be key for the market as it will show how investors positioned themselves after release this week's grinding data.
