The Cocoa Bubble Popped And DBA Moved On... Yet I Am Buying * The Invesco DB Agriculture Fund remains flat despite cocoa's collapse, as cocoa's ETF allocation shrank from 13% to 2.6%. * Cocoa's price bubble burst, driven by supply surges and demand destruction, resulting in an 80% drop from all-time highs and projected global surpluses. * Demand recovery for cocoa is uncertain due to consumer shifts, shrinkflation, and skimpflation, though some brands maintain quality and price resilience. * I initiated a position in DBA, expecting cocoa normalization and potential upside if cocoa regains ETF weight and other agricultural components remain stable. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4879347?gt=be3176800e8f4693 #chocolate #cocoa #ivorycoast #ghana $DBA $HSY #futures
