December arabica coffee (KCZ25) is up +17.45 (+4.40%) today, and November ICE robusta coffee (RMX25) is up +193 (+4.19%).
Coffee prices are surging today, with Dec arabica posting a contract high and nearest-futures (U25) arabica posting a 4.5-month high. Also, robusta posted a 2-week high. The lack of rain in Brazil's coffee-growing regions ahead of the critical flowering period for coffee trees is pushing coffee prices sharply higher. Somar Meteorologia reported today that Brazil's largest arabica coffee-growing area, Minas Gerais, received no rain during the week ended September 13.
