COCOA
Cocoa prices continue to face headwinds from lukewarm global risk sentiment and negative key outside markets, but they are also finding support from West African supply issues. If a “risk on” mood develops in commodity markets, cocoa should be able to regain and sustain upside momentum.
COFFEE
Coffee prices have seen volatile action since mid-November, but they continue to hold their ground above their 3 major moving averages. While near-term Brazilian supply from their near-record 2020/21 crop continues to be drawn down, bullish near-term supply developments should help to underpin coffee prices.
COTTON
The weaker dollar, stronger stock market, and a general “risk-on” mentality lent support to cotton yesterday. For Thursday’s USDA supply/demand report, traders are looking for reductions in US and world production and ending stocks for 2020/21. The average trade estimate for US production is 16.74 million bales (range 16.30-17.09 million), down from 17.09 in the November report.
SUGAR
Sugar prices have been unable to shake off a coiling price pattern as they grind their way lower, and for a second session in a row were unable to benefit from notable strength in a key outside market. Unless a “risk on” mood redevelops in global markets, sugar will have a difficult time regaining upside momentum.
