September arabica coffee (KCU24) on Wednesday closed down -4.95 (-2.16%), and July ICE robusta coffee (RMN24) closed down -69 (-1.57%).
Coffee prices Wednesday posted moderate losses due to weakness in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL). The real on Wednesday tumbled to a 19-month low against the dollar, encouraging export sales from Brazil's coffee producers. Also, forecasts that called for rain next week in Brazil's coffee-growing regions have eased drought concerns and are weighing on coffee prices.
