Unexpected Strength in North American Cocoa Demand Boosts Prices

September ICE NY cocoa (CCU26) on Friday closed up +171 (+3.19%), and September ICE London cocoa #7 (CAU26) closed up +118 (+2.97%).

On Thursday, cocoa prices tumbled to a 1.5-week low on signs of weak global demand after the European Cocoa Association reported that Q2 European cocoa grindings fell -4.6% to 316,366 MT, a larger decline than expectations of -1.5% y/y and the lowest level for Q2 in six years.  However, Asian cocoa demand improved after the Cocoa Association of Asia reported that Q2 Asian cocoa grindings rose by +25% y/y to 224,646 MT, well above expectations of +9% y/y.
