ICE cocoa futures are sharply higher, with May NY cocoa up 107 points (+3.36%) and May London cocoa up 76 points (+3.18%). The move reflects supply disruption concerns after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was closed to shipping following US actions, adding a geopolitical risk premium to commodity prices. The immediate impact is concentrated in cocoa and broader commodity markets rather than the wider equity market.
