Cocoa Futures Market News and Commentary

Cocoa Prices Plummet as Exporters Hedge Against the Upcoming West African Harvest

March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) today is down -706 (-11.62%).  March ICE London cocoa #7 (CAH26) is down -451 (-10.33%).

Cocoa prices are plummeting today, with NY cocoa falling to a 6-week low and London cocoa sliding to a 1-month low.  Cocoa exporters are taking advantage of this week's rally in cocoa prices to a 1-week high to lock in more favorable prices, as they place short hedges in cocoa futures against the upcoming West African cocoa harvest, sending prices sharply lower.   Selling of cocoa futures accelerated today after the dollar index (DXY00) rallied to a 4-week high.

On Thursday, cocoa prices jumped to 1-week highs on expectations of index-related buying of cocoa futures to rebalance commodity indexes.  Peak Trading Research estimates that the annual rebalancing of commodity indexes within the next week could lead to purchases of about 37,000 cocoa futures contracts, representing nearly 31% of the aggregate open interest.
