ICE NY Cocoa September 2026 (CCU26) trades above $5,500 per tonne on 12 July 2026
Cocoa is a key commodity for chocolate beverages, cocoa RTDs and hot cocoa drinks. Open Cassandra predictions anchor CCU26 above $5,700/tonne on 14 July and above $5,400/tonne on 18 July — the interpolated range for 12 July sits in the $5,500–$5,800 corridor. Structurally elevated cocoa prices reflect ongoing harvest failures in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana from El Niño aftereffects and disease pressure. A drop below $5,500 on 12 July would contradict both downstream anchors and would require an extreme, unannounced event. No Polymarket quote available.
