March arabica coffee (KCH25) today is up +3.50 (+1.21%), and January ICE robusta coffee (RMF25) is up +8 (+0.17%).
Coffee prices today added to Wednesday's sharp gains, with Mar arabica posting a contract high and Dec arabica posting a new 13-year nearest-futures high. Coffee prices gained today after the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) projected Brazil's 2024/25 coffee production at 66.4 MMT, below the USDA official forecast of 69.9 MMT. The USDA's FAS also projected Brazil's coffee inventories of 1.2 million bags when the 2024/25 season ends in June, down a -26% y/y. Coffee prices fell from their best levels today as a stronger dollar sparked profit-taking and long liquidation in coffee futures.
