May arabica coffee (KCK25) Monday closed up +13.60 (+3.65%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK25) closed up +156 (+2.93%).
Coffee prices rallied sharply on Monday as below-normal rain in Brazil may reduce coffee crop yields. Somar Meteorologia reported last Monday that Brazil's biggest arabica coffee growing area of Minas Gerais received 11.4 mm the week ended February 22, or 24% of the historical average. Brazil is the world's biggest arabica coffee growing country.
