Hedge funds have reversed a six-week buying trend, selling 103,000 contracts of agricultural futures worth approximately $5.2 billion, marking the largest outflow of 2025. However, they have increased their positions in wheat and sugar due to cold weather conditions impacting supply. As of the latest reports, non-commercial hedge fund traders hold a net long position of 74,000 contracts valued at $14.8 billion, having re-added some length in wheat and sugar. The agricultural market is currently bullish, with coffee prices rising 29% year-to-date, contributing to a 7.1% increase in the Bloomberg Agriculture Index. Coffee prices have surged due to reduced production in Brazil and adverse weather conditions, while cocoa prices have reached $10,000 per ton, a 400% increase since 2022, driven by crop troubles in West Africa. This spike in cocoa prices has implications for chocolate manufacturers, who may need to raise prices or seek alternative ingredients. Overall, the agricultural sector is experiencing heightened volatility and price increases, influenced by climate change and supply chain disruptions.
