How to interpret Cocoa positioning
What the contract represents
ICE US Cocoa futures represent 10 metric tons of deliverable cocoa beans.
Categories traders monitor
Managed Money and Producer/Merchant categories separate financial participation from parts of the physical processing and merchandising chain.
Interpretation considerations
West African crop conditions, grind demand, inventories and contract spreads can dominate interpretation.
Important limitations
COT cannot reveal physical-quality exposure or connect spread legs, and London cocoa is a separate contract.
