Why Cocoa is followed
Cocoa is a futures benchmark for exchange-deliverable cocoa whose price is sensitive to West African crops, stocks and grinding demand. The construction behind Cocoa is part of the story because concentration, weighting and market coverage determine which underlying changes dominate the headline. The futures level can still differ from a consumer, wholesale cash or producer price.
