📈 COCOA surges amid concerns over supply
COCOA is the best performing commodity today, with front-month futures contract jumping 8%! Fundamental outlook is the driver of the move with WeatherDesk from Maxar Technologies, the US satellite technology company, saying that weekend rainfalls in West Africa help improve soil moisture, but were inefficient to fully restore moisture supplies. As such, the risk to next season's cocoa output in the region remains. Meanwhile, merchant inventories of cocoa beans continue to drop and has moved to the lowest level since Q1 2021 (blue line, inverted axis on the chart below). Declining inventories as well as still-present concerns over future supply are a perfect mix for cocoa prices to rise, with COCOA climbing to a 4-week high today.
