March arabica coffee (KCH25) Tuesday closed down -2.45 (-0.75%), and January ICE robusta coffee (RMF25) closed down -14 (-0.27%).
Coffee prices on Tuesday posted moderate losses after a slump in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) to a record low against the dollar spurred long liquidation in coffee futures. The weaker real encourages export selling by Brazil's coffee producers, thus boosting supplies.
