Cocoa Prices Retreat as Global Supplies Climb

May ICE NY cocoa (CCK26) today is down -34 (-1.10%), and March ICE London cocoa #7 (CAH26) is down -41 (-1.88%).

Cocoa prices are sliding today, with May NY cocoa posting a contract low and Mar London cocoa posting a new 2.75-year nearest futures low.  Cocoa prices are in the midst of a seven-week-long downtrend, with nearest-futures (H26) NY cocoa posting a 2.75-year nearest-futures low last Friday amid robust global supplies and slack demand.  On January 29, StoneX forecasted a global cocoa surplus of 287,000 MT in the 2025/26 season and a 267,000 MT surplus for 2026/27.  Also, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) reported on January 23 that global cocoa stocks rose +4.2% y/y to 1.1 MMT.
