  • Cocoa Prices Climb Amid Steady Chocolate Demand and Supply Concerns
    May 1, 2026, 4:21 PM EDT. Cocoa prices rose with July ICE NY cocoa up 0.76%, and London cocoa hitting a 2.5-month high, driven by resilient chocolate demand evidenced in strong earnings from Hershey and Mondelez. Analysts like StoneX cut global surplus forecasts for 2026/27 and 2025/26 due to El Niño risks affecting West African crops. Supply disruptions from the Strait of Hormuz closure also increased costs, supporting prices. However, weak demand in North America and Europe, with cocoa grindings and chocolate sales falling, temper gains. Conversely, Asian cocoa grindings rose 5.2%, boosting outlook. Inventory levels at a 20-month high add bearish pressure. Stable Ivory Coast shipments and declining Nigerian exports further influence market dynamics as cocoa supply and demand balance shifts.
