December arabica coffee (KCZ24) Friday closed down -4.75 (-1.73%), and November ICE robusta coffee (RMX24) closed down -45 (-0.81%).
Coffee prices settled moderately lower on Friday as they consolidated this week's sharp rally. On Thursday, Dec arabica coffee soared to a 13-year nearest-futures high, and Nov robusta rose to a contract high. Coffee prices have seen strength as adverse weather in key coffee-producing countries threatens global coffee production. Friday's slump in the dollar index (DXY00) to a 14-month low limited losses in coffee.
