September arabica coffee (KCU26) closed down -12.60 (-3.79%) on Monday, and September ICE robusta coffee (RMU26) closed up +4 (+0.11%).
Coffee prices settled mixed on Monday. Arabica coffee closed sharply lower as drier conditions in Brazil’s coffee-growing regions should allow for the pace of the country’s coffee harvest to pick up. Somar Meteorologia reported on Monday that no rain fell in the week ended August 2 in Minas Gerais, Brazil’s biggest coffee-growing region.
