March arabica coffee (KCH25) Monday closed up +3.05 (+0.81%), and March ICE robusta coffee (RMH25) closed down -184 (-3.22%).
Coffee prices Monday settled mixed, with arabica soaring to a new all-time nearest-futures high. Global coffee supply fears are underpinning prices after Conab, Brazil's government crop forecasting agency, forecasted last Tuesday that Brazil's 2025/26 coffee crop would fall -4.4% y/y to a 3-year low of 51.81 million bags. Also, Conab last Tuesday cut its 2024 Brazil coffee crop estimate by -1.1% to 54.2 million bags from a September estimate of 54.8 million bags.
