  • SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Cocoa futures kept their gains after news reports that Ivory Coast's Laurent Gbagbo had been captured. Cocoa for May delivery added $42, or 1.4%, to $3,016 a metric ton. The Ivory Coast is a top exporter of cocoa.

    Gbagbo was captured on Monday by French soldiers and handed over to forces loyal to president-elect Alassane Ouattara, according to media reports. Gbagbo has refused to step down after Ouattara defeated him in last year's presidential election.
