Cocoa Futures Market News and Commentary

Hedging by Cocoa Exporters Sends Cocoa Prices Plummeting

March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) on Friday closed down -732 (-12.05%).  March ICE London cocoa #7 (CAH26) closed down -452 (-10.35%).

Cocoa prices plummeted on Friday, with NY cocoa sinking to a 6-week low and London cocoa sliding to a 1-month low.  Cocoa prices fell sharply on Friday as exporters took advantage of Thursday's rally to a 1-week high to lock in more favorable prices, placing short hedges in cocoa futures ahead of the upcoming West African cocoa harvest.   Selling of cocoa futures intensified on Friday 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.
