La Nina Rains Increase Cocoa Production

COCOA

Cocoa has faced demand issues since the COVID pandemic began last year, and that has been a factor with many analysts calling for the 2020/21 season to have a global production surplus of 100,000 tonnes or higher. Another factor with those surplus estimates are expectations for a sizable global production increase due to La Nina.

COFFEE

Coffee has been able to lift clear of its January/February consolidation lows twice over the past 2 weeks, and was able to do so in spite of ongoing concerns with near-term global demand prospects.

COTTON

The market looks vulnerable to a more significant technical correction to the downside. March cotton closed lower yesterday after trading in a wide range. The market attempted to restart the rally that peaked in January, but ultimately failed and ended back near last week’s low.

SUGAR

Sugar prices have benefited from an improved global demand outlook and from carryover support from key outside markets. There have been bullish near-term supply developments which have underpinned prices as well, and that can help sugar to retest its mid-January highs.
