Agricultural commodity markets traded mixed in the latest session, with sharp divergences across softs, grains, and livestock contracts, reflecting shifting demand-supply dynamics and profit-taking after recent rallies.
Cocoa remained the biggest laggard, extending its steep correction. Prices were down over 8% on the day, with losses deepening to more than 20% over one month and over 45% on a three-year basis, as concerns over demand destruction and easing supply fears weighed on sentiment.
Coffee also saw a sharp pullback, declining 2.6%, even as it continues to hold strong gains over the longer term, with prices still up over 24% in six months and 21% over one year. The move suggests near-term profit booking after a sustained rally.

In contrast, orange juice stood out on the upside, gaining nearly 3% on the week and extending its one-month rise to over 10%, supported by supply-side constraints and weather-related concerns.
Among grains, performance remained largely subdued. Corn and wheat traded marginally higher, while oats posted modest weekly gains but continued to face pressure over longer horizons. Rough rice advanced on the day and week, though it remains sharply lower on a three-year basis.
Oilseeds showed relative strength. Soybean oil rose over 3% on the week and nearly 9% over one month, while soybeans and soybean meal posted modest gains, indicating selective buying interest in the complex.
Livestock contracts were mixed, with lean hogs and live cattle showing steady medium-term performance, while short-term moves remained muted.
Overall, the data highlights a commodity landscape marked by sharp corrections in previously overheated segments like cocoa and coffee, while selective strength persists in oilseeds and certain soft commodities amid evolving global supply-demand signals.
