March ICE NY cocoa (CCH26) on Tuesday closed down -297 (-7.24%), and March ICE London cocoa #7 (CAH26) closed down -206 (-6.97%). Cocoa prices plummeted on Tuesday, with NY cocoa posting a 2.25-year nearest-futures low. Cocoa prices have been in freefall over the past six weeks, with London cocoa sinking to a 2.5-year low on January 30, as abundant global supplies and slack demand weigh on cocoa prices. Losses in cocoa prices accelerated on Tuesday after Nigerian Dec cocoa exports were reported at 54,799 MT, up +17% y/y. Nigeria is the world's fifth-largest cocoa producer. Don’t Miss a Day: On January 29, StoneX forecasted a global cocoa surplus of 287,000 MT in the 2025/26 season and a 267,000 MT surplus for 2026/27. Also, the International Cocoa Organization (ICCO) reported on January 23 that global cocoa stocks rose 4.2% y/y to 1.1 MMT. Abundant ICE-monitored cocoa inventories are negative for prices. ICE cocoa inventories rose to a 3.5-month high of 1,836,511 bags on Tuesday. Demand concerns have hammered cocoa prices as consumers continue to balk at the high price of chocolate. On January 28, Barry Callebaut AG, the world's largest bulk chocolate maker, reported a -22% decline in sales volume in its cocoa division for the quarter ending November 30, citing "negative market demand and a prioritization of volume toward higher-return segments within cocoa." Grinding reports also showed weak demand. On January 15, the European Cocoa Association reported that Q4 European cocoa grindings fell -8.3% y/y to 304,470 MT, a bigger decline than expectations of -2.9% y/y and the lowest for a Q4 in 12 years. On December 16, the Cocoa Association of Asia reported that Q4 Asian cocoa grindings fell -4.8% y/y to 197,022 MT. Also, the National Confectioners Association reported Q4 North American cocoa grindings rose only +0.3% y/y to 103,117 MT. Slowing cocoa deliveries to ports in the Ivory Coast is a supportive factor for prices. Today's cumulative data showed that Ivory Coast...

March arabica coffee (KCH26) on Tuesday closed down -5.65 (-1.88%), and March ICE robusta coffee (RMH26) closed down -91 (-2.37%). Coffee prices settled sharply lower on Tuesday as increased precipitation in Brazil improved the outlook for the country's coffee crop. On Monday, arabica fell to a 6-month low as concerns over dry conditions in Brazil eased when Somar Meteorologia reported that Brazil's largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received 72.6 mm of rain during the week ended February 6, or 113% of the historical average. Don’t Miss a Day: Coffee prices have been under pressure over the past 1.5 weeks, with robusta falling to a 5.75-month low last Thursday on signs of robust coffee supplies. Conab, Brazil's crop forecasting agency, said last Thursday that Brazil's 2026 coffee production will climb +17.2% y/y to a record 66.2 million bags, with arabica production up +23.2% y/y to 44.1 million bags and robusta production up +6.3% y/y to 22.1 million bags. Soaring coffee exports from Vietnam, the world's largest robusta producer, are bearish for robusta prices. Vietnam's National Statistics Office reported Friday that Vietnam's Jan coffee exports surged +38.3% y/y to 198,000 MT. Vietnam's 2025 coffee exports jumped by +17.5% y/y to 1.58 MMT. Increased Vietnamese coffee supplies are negative for robusta prices. Vietnam's 2025/26 coffee production is projected to climb +6% y/y to 1.76 MMT, or 29.4 million bags, a 4-year high. The recovery in ICE coffee inventories is negative for prices. ICE-monitored arabica inventories fell to a 1.75-year low of 396,513 bags on November 18, but recovered to a 3.25-month high of 461,829 bags on January 7. Also, ICE robusta coffee inventories fell to a 13-month low of 4,012 lots on December 10 but recovered to a 2-month high of 4,662 lots on January 26. On the positive side for coffee, Brazil's Trade Ministry reported last Thursday that Brazil's Jan coffee exports fell -42.4% y/y to 141,000 MT. Smaller coffee supplies...

Key Points Big financial institutions firmly back USD Coin. Ripple USD relies on a decentralized network of individual issuers. 10 stocks we like better than USDC › Over the past few years, stablecoins have emerged as a conservative alternative to traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC). Unlike Bitcoin, which doesn't have a clearly defined market value, most stablecoins are directly pegged to the U.S. dollar. It might seem counterintuitive to buy a stablecoin that is designed to never appreciate against the U.S. dollar, but it's useful for quick cross-border transfers and can be held without a bank account. It can also be staked on centralized and decentralized finance platforms to earn yields higher than those of savings accounts or CDs at conventional banks. That makes it a valuable asset for people who value their privacy or live in countries grappling with hyperinflation. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » Two of those popular stablecoins are USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) and Ripple USD (CRYPTO: RLUSD). Let's see which one is a better buy right now. The differences between USD Coin and Ripple USD USD Coin, with a market cap of $73.3 billion, is the world's second-most-valuable stablecoin. Ripple USD, valued at only $1.5 billion, is the ninth-largest stablecoin. The fintech company Circle (NYSE: CRCL) launched USD Coin in 2018. It's backed on a 1:1 basis by U.S. dollars and short-term U.S. Treasuries, which financial institutions like BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) and BNY Mellon (NYSE: BK) hold, and it submits monthly attestations (reports from independent auditing firms) for its reserves. That structure makes USD Coin more transparent than other stablecoins, but it's also firmly centralized, directly tethered to the U.S. dollar, and has its reserves held by large institutions. In other words, it's an unappealing choice for inve...

Snowboarder Chloe Kim is chasing an Olympic gold three-peat with a torn labrum toggle caption Lindsey Wasson/AP Want more Olympics updates? Subscribe here to get our newsletter, Rachel Goes to the Games, delivered to your inbox for a behind-the-scenes look at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. MILAN — Chloe Kim was just 17 when she won halfpipe gold at the 2018 PyeongChang Games, becoming the youngest woman to win an Olympic snowboard medal. She made history again when she won her second — also gold — in Beijing. Now 25 and the "proud owner of a frontal lobe," Kim is hoping to three-peat, a feat that no halfpipe snowboarder has ever done. Sponsor Message But it won't be easy, especially since Kim is coming into the Olympics with a shoulder injury that kept her from training in recent weeks. "I have so much anxiety, but thankfully I have matcha and there's good vibes here and my family's out here, so we'll be good," Kim said ahead of Wednesday's qualifier. She tore her labrum — a ring of cartilage lining the shoulder socket — while training in Switzerland in late January, just weeks after a crash during practice forced her to pull out of a World Cup event in Colorado. The Olympics are actually the first competition of the season for Kim, who qualified a year in advance. Kim told reporters that she resumed training about two weeks ago, rocking a "very securely taped" shoulder brace. She feels like the brace has made her riding better, perhaps more steady, because she can't move her trailing arm as much as she normally would. "I think once we're in there and once we're focusing on what we want to do, the tricks we want to do, everything, my mind goes completely blank," Kim added. "I'm not thinking about my shoulder. I'm just thinking about what I'm trying to accomplish in this run. And yeah, it's been working out pretty well." Kim recalled that she had an "awful practice" right before her competition in Beijing, where she scored so high in her first run that even ...

Fracking Drilling Rig sasacvetkovic33/E+ via Getty Images Investment Thesis NGL Energy Partners ( NGL ) has had a strong run in the past twelve months, with shares up by 116% at this time of this writing. The company paid all dividend arrears due on its cumulative preferred shares (p. F-35 ). This unlocks value for common unit holders who are eligible for common distributions if and when management decides to (subject to debt covenants). Another tailwind was the sale of some unprofitable, non-core natural gas liquids assets that dragged on earnings. It is safe to say that the recent rally, while dramatic, is indeed supported by fundamentals. The question now is, does this rally have legs going into 2026? I believe yes. The partnership is enjoying a revenue and earnings momentum in its core Water Disposal business. Management's commentary points to further volume growth. Equally important, despite the triple-digit appreciation in the stock price, the company is still moderately valued on an EV/EBITDA basis. Note: GAAP revenue and net income are poor gauges of performance. The crude oil and natural gas liquids logistics segments are, to a great extent, pass-through/spread businesses, with revenue and costs often moving together. The net income is impacted by non-cash items, including unrealized changes in derivatives. Management's favorite performance gauge is adjusted EBITDA. Company Overview NGL's largest earnings contributor is its Water Disposal business. Produced and flowback water are byproducts of oil & gas drilling. This water is often contaminated, requiring specialized transport, treatment, and disposal. NGL runs one of the largest flowback/produced water pipeline systems in the Delaware basin (part of the Permian basin). The partnership also runs two small crude and natural gas liquids logistics businesses. Graph created by the author. Figures from NGL Partners Solid Performance Last week, NGL released its FQ'26 results for the three months ended December 2...
