March arabica coffee (KCH24) on Friday closed down -9.70 (-4.90%), and Mar ICE robusta coffee (RMH24) closed down -95 (-3.24%).
Coffee prices Friday sold off sharply, with arabica falling to a 2-week low. Forecasts for rain every day next week in Brazil's coffee-growing regions have eased concerns about dry conditions and sparked long liquidation in coffee futures. Also, the year-end position squaring by funds weighed on coffee prices.
