March arabica coffee (KCH25) Friday closed down -5.00 (-1.55%), and January ICE robusta coffee (RMF25) closed down -156 (-2.80%).
Coffee prices Friday gave up an early advance and closed lower after the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) sank to a record low against the dollar. The weaker real encourages export selling from Brazil's coffee producers and sparked long liquidation in coffee futures.
