July ICE NY cocoa (CCN23) on Wednesday closed up +2 (+0.07%), and July ICE London cocoa #7 (CAK23) closed down -4 (-0.17%).
Cocoa prices Wednesday settled mixed, with London cocoa falling to a 1-1/2 week low. A stronger dollar Wednesday weighed on cocoa prices as the dollar index climbed to a 2-1/2 month high. However, losses in cocoa prices were limited by signs of smaller supplies from the Ivory Coast. The Ivory Coast government reported Monday that farmers sent a cumulative 2.09 MMT of cocoa to Ivory Coast ports for the 2022/23 marketing year (October 1 through May 28), down -3.0% y/y. The Ivory Coast is the largest cocoa producer in the world.
