December arabica coffee (KCZ25) on Monday closed down -5.85 (-1.55%), and November ICE robusta coffee (RMX25) closed down -15 (-0.36%).
Coffee prices settled lower on Monday due to above-average rainfall in Brazil, which is expected to improve crop conditions and boost coffee yields. Somar Meteorologia reported today that Brazil's largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received 25.9 mm of rain during the week ended September 27, or 104% of the historical average. The month of September is the critical flowering period for Brazil's coffee trees.
