May ICE NY cocoa gained +116 ticks (+3.52%) and May ICE London cocoa #7 rose +70 (+2.90%). The rally came after an early dip reversed when the dollar index fell ~0.50%, triggering short covering in cocoa futures. This suggests a short-covering-driven bounce with elevated near-term volatility; sustained upside likely depends on further dollar weakness or fundamental supply/demand shifts.
