Cacao prices tumble to five-month low as the trade war intensifies

The US imposed gigantic 104% tariffs on Chinese products starting Wednesday as a punishment to China’s punitive tariffs on US products.
China’s government vowed to fight till the end and called out the “blackmailing nature” of the US.
On trading, cacao futures tumbled 3.5% in London to 5764 pound per ton, a November 13 low.
