March arabica coffee (KCH26) on Thursday closed up +0.20 (+0.06%). March ICE robusta coffee (RMH26) closed down -0.52 (-1.28%).
Coffee prices on Thursday settled mixed. Arabica coffee recovered from early losses on Thursday and posted modest gains after a rally in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) to a 2.25-month high against the dollar sparked short covering in arabica futures. The stronger real discourages export sales by Brazil's coffee producers.
