Coffee Prices Finish Higher on Forecasts for Limited Rain in Brazil

May arabica coffee (KCK24) on Thursday closed up +3.30 (+1.81%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK24) closed up +70 (+2.11%).

Coffee prices on Thursday climbed to 1-1/2 week highs on forecasts for limited rain in Brazil's coffee-growing regions over the next week.  Recent rain in Brazil has been below average and has been supportive of coffee prices.  Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil's Minas Gerais region received 6.6 mm of rainfall in the past week, or 16% of the historical average.  Minas Gerais accounts for about 30% of Brazil's arabica crop.
