  • Cocoa Prices Slide Amid Strong Dollar, West African Rain Forecasts, and Supply Pressures
    March 13, 2026, 2:07 PM EDT. Cocoa prices fell as the U.S. dollar index hit a 3.5-month high, pressuring commodities priced in dollars. Optimism over rainfall in West Africa, which may boost cocoa crop yields, added to bearish sentiment. Inventories at ICE warehouses hit a seven-month high, reflecting ample supplies. Despite a recent rally triggered by renewed demand for Ivory Coast mid-year crop exports, overall demand remains weak due to consumer resistance to high chocolate prices. Major producers Ivory Coast and Ghana have cut cocoa farmer pay significantly, affecting market dynamics. Rising shipping costs due to the Strait of Hormuz closure provided some price support.
