March arabica coffee (KCH25) Tuesday closed up +1.90 (+0.60%), and March ICE robusta coffee (RMH25) closed up +35 (+0.70%).
Coffee prices on Tuesday settled moderately higher. Tuesday's rally in the Brazilian real (^USDBRL) to a 2-week high against the dollar prompted short covering in coffee futures. The stronger real discourages export selling by Brazil's coffee producers.
