Coffee prices on Friday extended this week's sharp rally, boosted by short-covering and technical buying with the upside breakouts to new 2-month highs. Arabica coffee this week rallied by a total of +10.4% and robusta coffee rallied by a total of +18%. Bullish fundamental factors include a frost event early this week in Brazil, reduced coffee exports from Brazil, and declining coffee ICE warehouse inventories.
