Coffee prices rise as Brazilian real hits a 4-week high
Coffee futures rose as a stronger Brazilian real reduced producers' incentive to export, tightening near-term supply availability. Inventory draws on ICE (arabica at a 2.25-year low; robusta previously at a 2-year low) and a lagging Brazil 2026/27 harvest, alongside El Niño risk and dryness in Minas Gerais, reinforce supply concerns. Higher exchange margins have reduced liquidity, amplifying volatility; Vietnam export growth remains a counterweight for robusta.

The Brazilian real climbed to a four-week high against the dollar, squeezing export returns and prompting Brazilian coffee growers to delay sales. ICE arabica and robusta inventories fell to 2.25-year and 2-year lows, respectively. Brazil’s 2026/27 harvest is running behind schedule, adding to supply concerns alongside El Niño warnings and another rainless week in Minas Gerais. A surge in Vietnam’s exports, meanwhile, has weighed on robusta.
