    Levels for Feb. 8th below as well as Cocoa MONTHLY chart - from our blog today:

    Among the market sectors most traders follow closely, “Softs” is not high up the list. Yet similarly to other well-known futures contracts such as stock indexes, interest rate futures, energies, metals and grains, the softs category includes some of the world benchmarks for their underlying commodity, such as cocoa, coffee, orange juice and sugar.


    As well, we’re seeing recent price movement in some of these commodities that can be described as exceptional. For example, it’s not hyperbole to say that the price of March cocoa has skyrocketed over the last month – from both sides of ±$4,200/ton coming into the new year to today’s $5,410/ton close. That’s a ±$12,000 per contract move (contract size: 10 metric tons). This is an all-time high for the contract.
