May arabica coffee (KCK26) on Tuesday closed up by +1.90 (+0.65%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK26) closed up +52 (+1.50%).
Coffee prices settled higher for a second day on Tuesday, with arabica posting a 1-week high. Supply concerns are underpinning coffee prices as the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted global shipping. The closure of the waterway has increased global shipping rates, insurance, and fuel costs, and raises costs for coffee importers and roasters.
