Dollar Weakness Boosts Cocoa Futures Amid Mixed Supply and Demand Signals
March 19, 2026, 2:47 PM EDT. Cocoa futures edged higher as a weakening dollar triggered short covering, lifting March ICE NY cocoa by 0.37% and December ICE London cocoa by 0.33%. Early losses followed EU's one-year delay of the deforestation law aimed at regulating agricultural imports, maintaining ample cocoa supplies. However, support came from a 3.7% drop in Ivory Coast cocoa shipments, the world's largest producer, and shrinking ICE cocoa inventories hitting an 8.25-month low. Optimistic West African crop forecasts contrast with weak global demand, highlighted by disappointing US Halloween chocolate sales and significant declines in Asian and European cocoa processing. The US lifted tariffs on cocoa and other commodities from Brazil, affecting pricing dynamics. Overall, cocoa markets balance reduced supply arrivals and inventory drawdowns against muted demand and regulatory delay.
