September arabica coffee (KCU24) on Thursday closed down -2.25 (-0.93%), and Sep ICE robusta coffee (RMU24) closed down -91 (-1.99%).
Coffee prices Thursday closed moderately lower, with robusta posting a 1-week low. Weakness in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) weighed on coffee prices as the real Thursday dropped to a 2-week low against the dollar. The weaker real encourages export selling by Brazil's coffee producers. Meanwhile, robusta is under pressure after ICE-monitored robusta coffee inventories rose to a 1-year high Wednesday of 6,119 lots, signaling increased supplies.
