  • Cocoa Prices Slide on Outlook for Abundant Supplies Despite El Niño Concerns
    May 20, 2026, 2:11 PM EDT. July ICE NY cocoa futures fell 0.90%, and ICE London cocoa dropped 1.62% amid forecasts of abundant cocoa supplies. The Ivory Coast raised its 2025/26 delivery estimate to 2.2 million metric tons (MMT), up from 1.8-1.9 MMT, benefiting from favorable weather. Cocoa stocks hit a 1.75-year high, pressuring prices. However, potential El Niño conditions, which NOAA estimates at 82% probability, threaten West African output, supporting prices alongside signs of steady consumer demand from major chocolate makers Hershey and Mondelez. StoneX lowered global surplus projections for 2025/26 and 2026/27, reflecting crop risks. Disruptions from the Strait of Hormuz closure also elevate cocoa importers' costs. Weak demand in North America partially weighs on the market, illustrating a complex price outlook influenced by supply dynamics and climate risks.
