  • Cocoa Prices Decline as Drier Weather Forecasts Hit Ivory Coast Crop Outlook
    June 9, 2026, 4:59 PM EDT. Cocoa prices fell on Tuesday in response to forecasts predicting drier conditions in West Africa, a key growing region. July ICE London cocoa dropped 0.68%, reversing earlier gains triggered by damage from recent storms in Ivory Coast. Despite this, prices face support from medium-term El Niño risks and below-average early crop indicators for the 2026/27 season. Market watchers note a record high of 21,111 net short positions by fund managers, increasing volatility potential. Ivory Coast shipments rose by 3% year-on-year, while production estimates were upgraded, exerting bearish pressure. Industry earnings suggest stable consumer demand for chocolate, partially offsetting supply worries. Analysts also revised down the global cocoa surplus forecast for 2026/27, highlighting ongoing supply risks amid challenging weather.
