Just caught some interesting cocoa news on the boards - March futures popped +2.14% on the NY exchange and London was even hotter at +3.04% yesterday. Seems like the real story is what's happening with supply. Ivory Coast shipments are actually slowing down compared to last year, which is flipping the script a bit. They moved 1.23 MMT in the current season but that's down from 1.24 MMT same time last year. That's enough to trigger short covering in the futures. What's wild is we've been getting crushed by oversupply narratives for months - global stocks sitting at 1.1 MMT, chocolate makers reporting weak demand because consumers won't pay the prices anymore. Barry Callebaut's volume dropped 22% in their cocoa division last quarter. Grindings data across Europe, Asia, and North America all showing weakness. But here's the thing - if Ivory Coast deliveries keep slowing and Nigeria's production is expected to drop 11% this year, maybe the supply picture isn't as dire as it looked a few weeks ago. Worth watching how this cocoa news develops. Could be a shift in momentum if the deficit talk picks up again.
