Cocoa Sep '26 (CCU26)
Cocoa Futures Market News and Commentary
May ICE NY cocoa (CCK26) on Monday closed down -10 (-0.31%), and May ICE London cocoa #7 (CAK26) did trade with UK Markets closed for the Easter Monday holiday.
Cocoa prices settled lower on Monday and are under pressure amid signs of weak chocolate demand. Â According to Bloomberg Intelligence, early estimates for chocolate candy sales this Easter holiday, a prime seasonal time for chocolate consumption, are tracking toward a decline of about -5% from last year.
Ample supplies are also weighing on cocoa prices, as ICE cocoa inventories rose to a 1.5-year high of 2,375,262 bags last Thursday.
Last Wednesday, NY cocoa climbed to a 2.5-week high as recent rainfall in West Africa has been insufficient to ease drought concerns in the Ivory Coast and Ghana. Â According to the African Flood and Drought Monitor, as of March 29, drought conditions blanket more than half of the Ivory Coast and about two-thirds of Ghana.
