Forecasts for Ivory Coast Rains Weigh on Cocoa Prices
September ICE NY cocoa (CCU25) Tuesday closed down -35 (-0.43%), and September ICE London cocoa #7 (CAU25) closed up +51 (+0.91%). Cocoa prices on Tuesday settled mixed, with NY cocoa sliding to a 4-week low. Forecasts for rain in the Ivory Coast later this week are weighing on cocoa prices. However, Tuesday's decline in the British pound (^GBPUSD) to a 1-week low lifted London cocoa prices. The weaker pound boosts cocoa that is priced in terms of sterling. More News from Barchart Coffee Prices Give Up Early Gains on Comments From Brazil's Ag Minister Below-Average Rainfall in Brazil Supports Arabica Coffee Prices Soybeans Are Heating Up. Here's What Could Take Them Much Higher. Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Weakness in chocolate demand is also a negative factor for cocoa prices. Chocolate maker Lindt & Spruengli AG in July lowered its margin guidance for the year due to a larger-than-expected decline in first-half chocolate sales. Also, chocolate maker Barry Callebaut AG in July reduced its sales volume guidance for a second time in three months, citing persistently high cocoa prices. The company projects a decline in full-year sales volume and reported a -9.5% drop in its sales volume for the March-May period, the largest quarterly decline in a decade. Cocoa prices rallied to 2-month highs last Monday from concern about dry weather in West Africa that threatens the region's cocoa crops. According to the Commodity Weather Group, the 30 days through August 15 were the driest for the Ivory Coast in 46 years. The lack of rain could impact the retention of cocoa pods on trees before the main crop harvest that starts in October. Cocoa prices have support from tighter inventories. ICE-monitored cocoa inventories held in US ports fell to a 2.5-month low of 2,213,667 bags on Tuesday. The slowdown in the pace of cocoa exports from the Ivory Coast is bullish for cocoa prices. Monday's government data showed that Ivory Coast farmers shipped 1.78 MMT of cocoa to ports this marketing year from October 1 to August 17, up +6.0% from last year but down from the much larger +35% increase seen in December. Quality concerns regarding the Ivory Coast's mid-crop cocoa, which is currently being harvested through September, are supportive of prices. Cocoa processors are complaining about the quality of the crop and have rejected truckloads of Ivory Coast cocoa beans. Processors reported that about 5% to 6% of the mid-crop cocoa in each truckload is of poor quality, compared with 1% during the main crop. According to Rabobank, the poor quality of the Ivory Coast's mid-crop is partly attributed to late-arriving rain in the region, which limited crop growth. The mid-crop is the smaller of the two annual cocoa harvests, which typically starts in April. The average estimate for this year's Ivory Coast mid-crop is 400,000 MT, down -9% from last year's 440,000 MT. Another supportive factor for cocoa is the smaller cocoa production in Nigeria, the world's fifth-largest cocoa producer. Nigeria's Cocoa Association projects Nigeria's 2025/25 cocoa production will fall -11% y/y to 305,000 MT from a projected 344,000 MT for the 2024/25 crop year. In related news, Nigeria's Jun cocoa exports rose +0.9% y/y to 14,597 MT. Weakness in global cocoa demand has been a bearish factor for cocoa prices. The European Cocoa Association reported on July 17 that Q2 European cocoa grindings fell by -7.2% y/y to 331,762 MT, a bigger decline than expectations of -5% y/y. Also, the Cocoa Association of Asia reported that Q2 Asian cocoa grindings fell -16.3% y/y to 176,644 MT, the smallest amount for a Q2 in 8 years. North American Q2 cocoa grindings fell -2.8% y/y to 101,865 MT, which was a smaller decline than the declines seen in Asia and Europe. Higher cocoa production by Ghana is bearish for cocoa prices. On July 1, the Ghana Cocoa Board projected the 2025/26 Ghana cocoa crop would increase by +8.3% y/y to 650,000 from 600,000 MT in 2024/25. Ghana is the world's second-largest cocoa producer. On May 30, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) revised its 2023/24 global cocoa deficit to -494,000 MT from a February estimate of -441,000 MT, the largest deficit in over 60 years. ICCO said 2023/24 cocoa production fell by 13.1% y/y to 4.380 MMT. ICCO stated that the 2023/24 global cocoa stocks-to-grindings ratio declined to a 46-year low of 27.0%. Looking ahead to 2024/25, ICCO on February 28 forecasted a global cocoa surplus of 142,000 MT for 2024/25, the first surplus in four years. ICCO also projected that 2024/25 global cocoa production will rise +7.8% y/y to 4.84 MMT.

A Pivotal Week Ahead Is for Grain Futures Markets. What to Watch Now.
Last week was a very important trading week in the grain futures markets. The keynote was a USDA report that contained both bullish and bearish surprises and produced higher price volatility. Trading in the grains this week will be extra important, too, as last week there were important early clues emerging on new price trends. Let's break each market down. More News from Barchart Coffee Prices Give Up Early Gains on Comments From Brazil's Ag Minister Soybeans Are Heating Up. Here's What Could Take Them Much Higher. What Will the 2025 US Midwest Crop Tour Tell Us This Week? Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Corn Flattened, But Then Posts Solid Recovery The corn (ZCZ25) market bulls were already on the ropes but then suffered a knock-down last Tuesday following a surprisingly bearish USDA report that forecast record U.S. corn production when the combines start rolling this fall. However, the bulls got back up Wednesday and then ended the week by scoring some strong counter punches that began to suggest a seasonal price bottom may have been put in place. December corn futures prices last week lost only 1/4 cent from the week prior. Bulls will have to show some important follow-through buying strength this week to better suggest a near-term price bottom is indeed in place. Traders in the corn and soybean markets this week will be focusing on the annual Pro Farmer Crop Tour that starts Monday and concludes with its final crop yield estimates released Friday at 1:30 p.m. CDT. Weather in the Corn Belt will see another two weeks of favorable growing conditions for corn and soybean crops, suggesting high production potential. Drier weather beginning late next week will be beneficial for early maturing corn. A bullish element for corn going forward is export demand for U.S. corn that has been strong due to current lower prices and a subdued U.S. dollar. That's continuing to better drive exports and domestic demand. Soybean Bulls Come Back to Life The soybean (ZSX25) market bulls had a very good week last week, to suggest some more follow-through buying interest from the speculators this week. The USDA released a bullish monthly supply and demand report early last week that showed lower-than-expected U.S. soybean production and lower ending stocks forecasts. November soybeans last week hit a six-week high and closed at a technically bullish weekly high on Friday, suggesting some follow-through, chart-based buying from the speculators early this week. A bullish National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) crush report released Friday also gives the soybean market some legs this week. The U.S. soybean crush rose to a six-month high in July and exceeded most trade expectations. NOPA members crushed 195.699 million bushels last month, up 5.6% from the 185.270 million bushels in June and up 7% from a crush of 182.881 million bushels one year ago. It was the largest July crush ever reported by NOPA and the fifth largest for any month on record, NOPA data showed. However, a lack of new-crop U.S. soybean purchases from China continues to worry soybean market bulls, even though President Donald Trump last week extended the tariff truce for an additional 90-day period. The pace of new-crop soybean export sales is at a six-year low, though USDA reported impressive export sales last week. Soybean traders will continue to monitor U.S.-China trade talks, or lack thereof. Winter Wheat Futures Markets Continue to Languish The winter wheat (KEZ25) (ZWZ25) futures markets hit contract lows last Thursday, basis December contracts. However, good gains in corn and soybean futures markets late last week likely spilled over into some buying interest in wheat markets Friday. This week, look for wheat traders continuing to eye the corn and soybean markets for daily price direction. The U.S. winter wheat harvest is winding down and that means less commercial hedging pressure in the futures markets. Spring wheat has seen consolidative, sideways trade following a 92-cent drop from the June high to the August low. USDA's lower-than-expected U.S. spring wheat production estimate last week failed to excite the bulls. Spring wheat harvest continues to advance, although it lags the five-year average pace. On the positive side, the USDA last week lowered U.S. wheat ending stocks amid forecasts of increased U.S. wheat export demand. Also, global wheat ending stocks were lowered to a 10-year low. These are elements that will likely come closer to the front burner of the grains marketplace as U.S. harvests are completed. Tell me what you think.
