Cocoa Prices Soar on Global Supply Concerns

September ICE NY cocoa (CCU26) today is up +337 (+7.26%), and July ICE London cocoa #7 (CAN26) is up +239 (+6.85%).

Cocoa prices extended their two-week rally today, soaring to 5-month highs. Cocoa prices are supported by heavy rains in the Ivory Coast, which have flooded roads and cut off farmers’ access to farms and ports, threatening global supplies.
