May arabica coffee (KCK25) Thursday closed down -13.20 (-3.37%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK25) closed down -86 (-1.58%).
Coffee prices Thursday added to sharp Wednesday's losses, with arabica falling to a 1-month nearest-futures low and robusta dropping to a 2-1/4 month nearest-futures low. Coffee prices fell on forecasts for rain in Brazil that would ease dryness concerns. Meteorologist Climatempo has forecast widespread showers for Brazil's coffee-growing regions into next week.
