  • Global Cocoa Prices Rise on Reduced Surplus Forecasts and Supply Risks
    April 29, 2026, 2:49 PM EDT. Cocoa prices edged higher with July ICE NY cocoa up 0.65% and May ICE London cocoa 0.80% stronger amid forecasts of a reduced global surplus. StoneX lowered its 2026/27 global surplus estimate to 149,000 MT from 267,000 MT, citing El Niño-related risks to West African crops. The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted supply chains, increasing costs and supporting prices. However, weak chocolate demand in North America and Europe weighs on the market, with notable declines in cocoa grindings. Asian grindings bucked the trend, rising 5.2% year-on-year. Nigerian production declines and ongoing drought in key West African cocoa regions add bullish pressure, contrasted by stable Ivory Coast shipments. Inventory levels remain high, with ICE stocks at a 20-month peak.
