Coffee Prices Jump on Crop Concerns in Brazil

May arabica coffee (KCK24) this morning is up +6.40 (+3.34%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK24) is up +162 (+4.66%).

Coffee prices this morning are sharply higher, with arabica posting a 4-week high and robusta posting a new record high.    Coffee prices have carryover support from Monday on concern that recent heavy rain in Brazil's coffee-growing regions may have damaged coffee crops.  Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil's Minas Gerais region received 75.4 mm of rainfall in the past week, or 335% of the historical average.  Minas Gerais accounts for about 30% of Brazil's arabica crop.
