  • Cocoa Prices Mixed Amid Currency Shifts and Supply Factors
    March 14, 2026, 8:42 PM EDT. May ICE NY cocoa futures ended down 0.54% while London cocoa rose 0.29%, reflecting currency swings. The U.S. dollar index hitting a 3.5-month high pressured New York cocoa, while a weaker British pound supported London cocoa prices. Optimism over rain supporting West African cocoa crops and record ICE inventories at a 7-month high weighed on prices. Recent Ghana and Ivory Coast price cuts for farmers signal supply shifts in the top producing nations, responsible for over half of global cocoa. Higher shipping and insurance costs from the Strait of Hormuz closure bolstered cocoa import expenses. Meanwhile, weakened demand is evident with declines in cocoa grindings in Europe and Asia and a 22% fall in sales volume at Barry Callebaut, the largest chocolate maker.
