Long Liquidation Pressures Coffee Prices

March arabica coffee (KCH25) today is down -1.50 (-0.51%), and January ICE robusta coffee (RMF25) is down -182 (-3.76%).

Coffee prices today added to Monday's sharp losses, with arabica coffee falling to a 1-1/2 week low and robusta dropping to a 2-1/2 week low.   Long liquidation pressures are slamming coffee prices after J. Ganes Consulting said that keeping a large amount of capital tied into a position in coffee may no longer be justified after ICE raised its margins for holding positions in coffee futures last week.Losses in robusta coffee accelerated today after the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association raised its 2024/25 Vietnam coffee production estimate to 28 million bags from an October estimate of 27 million bags.
