ICE cocoa futures rise as dollar weakens; New York September up +2.30%

AI Market Summary
Cocoa futures rose as USD weakness (DXY at a multi-month low) supported commodity pricing, though a stronger GBP capped London gains. Fundamentals are mixed: higher Ivory Coast port arrivals and ICE inventory at a two-year high weigh on prices, while early 2026/27 crop surveys and El Niño risk point to lower West African output and a smaller global surplus. Q2 grindings were divergent across regions.
