NEW YORK, Nov 4 (Reuters) -

Cocoa futures on ICE rose on Tuesday after soaring in the

prior two sessions as investors priced in news of cocoa's

inclusion in a major commodities index and simmering tensions in

Nigeria and Cameroon, the world's fourth- and fifth-largest

producers.

COCOA

* New York cocoa settled up $41, or 0.6%, at $6,600 a

metric ton, having closed up 6.6% on Monday.

* London cocoa rose 1.3% to 4,849 pounds per ton

after hitting 4,864 pounds, its highest since late September.

* The chocolate ingredient has been boosted by plans for New

York cocoa to be included in the Bloomberg Commodity Index from

next year.

* Citi estimates cocoa futures could have an investment

inflow of $2.1 billion following the index inclusion.

* Elsewhere, tensions in Cameroon remain high following last

week's contested election, while U.S. President Donald Trump has

ordered the military to prepare for action in Nigeria to tackle

Islamist militant groups.

* "These two nations are expected to produce a total of

715,000 metric tons (this season)," noted broker StoneX.

* On the downside, analysts at Zuercher Kantonalbank

estimate

Barry Callebaut

will report a 9% decline in fourth-quarter sales

volumes on Wednesday.

14.22 cents per lb, heading back towards last week's five-year

low of 14.07.

* Associated British Foods ( ASBFF ) on Tuesday reported a 13%

drop in full-year profit driven by a weak performance in its

sugar unit.

a substantial global surplus in the 2025/26 season.

* White sugar fell 2.3% to $413.40 a ton.

COFFEE

* Robusta coffee fell 0.3% to $4,681 a ton, after

gaining more than 3% on Monday.

top robusta grower Vietnam's central coast by November 7, and

rains could still reach the Central Highlands coffee belt.

* Arabica coffee fell 0.3% to $4.0525 per lb, having

settled up 3.7% on Monday.

States is unclear, with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da
