NIB in Focus
The underlying Bloomberg Cocoa Subindex Total Return reflects the returns that are potentially available through an unleveraged investment in the futures contracts on cocoa. The product charges 70 bps in annual fees.
Why the Move?
Cocoa futures are hovering around a 7-1/2-year high amid supply concerns. Latest data showed cocoa arrivals at ports in top grower Ivory Coast had reached 2.104 million tonnes by June 4 since the start of the season on October 1, down 4.5% from the same period last season, per tradingeconomics. Ongoing above-average rains in most of Ivory Coast's main cocoa regions stoked fears of flooding and disease, which could damage the April-to-September mid-crop.
More Gains Ahead?
