December Cocoa(ICE)
The CCZ4(Mkt) ended Higher(Cond) for July(Month). Compared to June's 6591(Prev Close), the market ended July at 6991(Month Close), that being 63%(Pct Range) off of 6000(Month Low) to 7562(Month High).

In comparing the June/July closes for each of the last 45 years(Total Years), Scenario found that the December Cocoa(ICE) also closed higher in July than June in 21(Cond Years) of those years. Of those 21, CCZ went on to exceed the July high within the next 2 months in 18 years(Action Years) or 86%(Pct) of the time.

Therefore, the historical odds are high that the CCZ should exceed 7562(Scenario Objective) by no later than the end of September. If it does so, Scenario would further project (based on normalizing those previous 18 years) a potential move toward 8218(Average Objective).

March Cocoa(ICE)
The CCH5(Mkt) ended Higher(Cond) for July(Month). Compared to June's 5949(Prev Close), the market ended July at 6219(Month Close), that being 60%(Pct Range) off of 5525(Month Low) to 6684(Month High).

In comparing the June/July closes for each of the last 45 years(Total Years), Scenario found that the March Cocoa(ICE) also closed higher in July than June in 21(Cond Years) of those years. Of those 21, CCH went on to exceed the July high within the next 2 months in 18 years(Action Years) or 86%(Pct) of the time.

Therefore, the historical odds are high that the CCH should exceed 6684(Scenario Objective) by no later than the end of September. If it does so, Scenario would further project (based on normalizing those previous 18 years) a potential move toward 7274(Average Objective).

December Cotton(ICE)
The CTZ4(Mkt) ended Lower(Cond) for July(Month). Compared to June's 72.69(Prev Close), the market ended July at 68.99(Month Close), that being 24%(Pct Range) off of 67.50(Month Low) to 73.75(Month High).

In comparing the June/July closes for each of the last 45 years(Total Years), Scenario found that the December Cotton(ICE) also closed lower in July than June in 23(Cond Years) of those years. Of those 23, CTZ went on to penetrate the July low within the next 2 months in 20 years(Action Years) or 87%(Pct) of the time.

Therefore, the historical odds are high that the CTZ should penetrate 67.50(Scenario Objective) by no later than the end of September. If it does so, Scenario would further project (based on normalizing those previous 20 years) a potential move toward 62.36(Average Objective).
