Friday’s Coffee Market Closes with Volatility and Sustained Domestic Prices

This Friday’s (07) session was marked by volatility in the Arabica coffee market on the New York Stock Exchange, resulting in a mixed closing for futures contracts. The March/25 contract registered a slight increase of 40 points, settling at 404.35 cents/lbp, while longer-term contracts saw declines ranging from 40 to 195 points. According to Barchart, a stronger dollar contributed to profit-taking, pressuring coffee prices and pausing the recent rally.

Despite this slight correction, the market remains supported by global supply concerns, particularly regarding the monitoring of Brazil’s coffee crop. Barchart highlighted that Arabica hit historic highs last month, and Robusta also recorded significant gains. However, Robusta prices declined on the London Exchange this Friday, influenced by a rise in ICE-monitored inventories, which reached their highest level in the past four months. Futures contracts fell between $72 and $84 per ton, reflecting a short-term supply increase.

In the domestic market, coffee prices continued to rise, following Arabica’s recent performance in New York. Major producing regions saw price increases, with Guaxupé/MG standing out as Arabica type 6/7 rose 1.18%, trading at R$ 2,574.00 per bag. The peeled cherry variety also followed this trend, climbing 1.14% in Guaxupé/MG, priced at R$ 2,665.00 per bag. The limited physical market supply continues to drive prices up, while buyers show strong interest, both for export and domestic consumption.
