    June 12, 2026, 2:47 PM EDT. July ICE NY cocoa prices rose 2.21% amid pre-weekend short-covering. Despite a recent supply glut-Ivory Coast ports saw an 18.9% shipment increase this season to 1.95 million metric tons-rising inventories and record short positions by funds have been partly offset by weather risks.

Early crop surveys for 2026/27 show below-average cherelle formation, signaling a weaker harvest. Strong demand signals emerged from better-than-expected earnings by Hershey and Mondelez, although North American chocolate sales slipped 1.3%. Analysts also trimmed global cocoa surplus estimates, supporting prices amid a complex supply-demand balance.
