Saxo Bank's head of commodity strategy, Ole Hansen, explained toDow Jones Newswires that today's selloff was triggered by an improving weather forecast for rain inWest Africa, the mecca of cocoa farming.Thiswill only boost the bean outlook formid-season crops. He also noted that the front contract showed strong signs of 'buyer fatigue.'

**"Liquidity in the market due to the intense volatility of cocoa's prices has also disappeared, so any kind of news--good or bad--will trigger strong fluctuations in price,"**Hansen said, adding that the latestcommitment of traders report exhibitedbroad selling from commercial traders, with the long exposure sliding to a 14-month low as traders panic exit the chaotic market.

Despite the cocoa plunge,London-based trading and agricultural consultantPaulo Torres told Bloomberg,**"The shortage is not over" and "theelephant in the room is the fact that Ivory Coast and Ghana do not have cocoa, so there is no way prices can fall significantly."**
