May arabica coffee (KCK24) on Wednesday closed up +2.60 (+1.38%), and May ICE robusta coffee (RMK24) closed up +94 (+2.71%).
Coffee prices on Wednesday moved higher, with arabica climbing to a 2-1/2 week high and robusta posting an all-time nearest futures high. Robusta coffee prices are soaring after the Vietnam Coffee Association said Tuesday that Vietnam's 2023/24 coffee exports could drop -20% y/y to 1.336 MMT as dry weather reduced coffee yields and production. The strength of robusta prices Wednesday provided carryover support to arabica coffee.
