Cocoa Prices Plunge as Global Cocoa Demand Falters

ICE
Commodities & Raw MaterialsCommodity FuturesConsumer Demand & RetailMarket Technicals & Flows

ICE cocoa futures are sharply lower, with May NY cocoa down 152 points (-4.51%) and May London cocoa down 96 points (-3.85%) for a second straight day. The decline is tied to signs of weak global demand, including softer North American Q1 cocoa grindings reported by the National Confectioners Association. The move is negative for cocoa prices but appears more commodity-specific than broad market-wide.
