May arabica coffee (KCK26) today is up +6.05 (+2.11%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK26) is up +18 (+0.54%).
Coffee prices recovered from early losses today and turned higher as short covering emerged when the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) rallied to a 23-month high against the dollar. The stronger real discourages export sales from Brazil's coffee producers.
