May arabica coffee (KCK25) Tuesday closed down -1.90 (-0.55%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK25) closed up +26 (+0.54%).
Coffee prices on Tuesday settled mixed. Arabica coffee was under pressure Tuesday after the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) fell to a 2-1/2 month low against the dollar, encouraging export selling from Brazil's coffee producers. However, robusta coffee pushed higher on signs of tighter supplies after ICE-monitored robusta coffee inventories fell to a 3-week low Tuesday of 4,291 lots.
