Our verdict
Cocoa beans are the main material to make the ever-popular chocolate. Cocoa is a valued commodity. Tons of chocolate - derived from cocoa - are consumed daily. The biggest producer nation is Ivory Coast (40%). So what happens there impacts global prices.
Summary
Can the Cocoa rally last? Against Cocoa's uber-bullish sentiment, the risk here is obviously skewed to the upside. A leap into the five-digit territory (10,000) is possible. That said, a correction can not be ruled out either, simply because the market is pricing in a supply disaster. 20/3/24
