Coffee Prices Fluctuate Amid Adverse Weather in Brazil and Global Market Uncertainties

Arabica coffee futures closed this Friday’s (21st) session mixed on the New York Stock Exchange, while robusta contracts advanced on the London Exchange. Market volatility reflects uncertainty regarding weather conditions in Brazil, where Cooxupé warned about the negative impacts of high temperatures and scarce rainfall on coffee productivity. Although some arabica contracts ended lower, the July/25 contract recorded gains, driven by concerns over future supply.

Brazil’s climatic conditions continue to be a key factor in price fluctuations, with below-average rainfall since April of last year damaging crops during the crucial flowering stage. As for robusta, the increase in London was fueled by fears of a smaller crop in Vietnam, the world’s largest producer of this variety. However, the rise in ICE-monitored stocks could limit price increases, creating an uncertain outlook for the coming months.

In the domestic market, coffee prices saw little movement, reflecting the instability observed in international exchanges. Arabica registered small declines in several producing regions, such as Varginha, Araguari, and Machado, while the peeled cherry type saw depreciation in some areas and a significant rise in Espírito Santo do Pinhal. Given this scenario, producers should closely monitor climate trends and global market fluctuations to make strategic decisions regarding sales and farm investments.
