May arabica coffee (KCK25) Thursday closed down -1.60 (-0.43%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK25) closed down -34 (-0.63%).
Coffee prices Thursday gave up early gains and turned lower after a decline in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) to a 3-week low against the dollar sparked long liquidation in coffee futures. The weaker real encourages export selling by Brazil's coffee producers.
