May arabica coffee (KCK26) on Wednesday closed up +7.95 (+2.78%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK26) closed up +13 (+0.39%).
Coffee prices recovered from early losses on Wednesday and moved higher as short covering emerged when the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) rallied to a 23-month high against the dollar. The stronger real discourages export sales from Brazil's coffee producers.
