  • Cocoa Prices Rise on Smaller Global Surplus Outlook Amid Supply Concerns
    April 29, 2026, 4:10 PM EDT. Cocoa prices rose on Wednesday with July ICE NY cocoa up 0.89% and May ICE London cocoa climbing 0.88%, driven by forecasts of a smaller global surplus. StoneX cut its 2026/27 surplus estimate to 149,000 metric tonnes from 267,000 MT, citing El Niño risks to West African crops. Supply disruptions from the prolonged Strait of Hormuz closure boosted costs by raising fertilizer supply constraints, shipping rates, and fuel prices. However, weak chocolate demand in North America and Europe, with sales declines and reduced cocoa grindings, weighed negatively. Asian grindings bucked the trend with a 5.2% rise. Ivory Coast shipments remain stable, but Nigeria's production is expected to drop 11% in 2025/26, supporting prices. Drought conditions continue to threaten key West African producers, adding to supply concerns despite large current inventory levels.
