CoffeeNetwork (New York) - In Notices dated February 16, 2023 and September 19, 2023, the Exchange advised market participants of the potential for adoption of Coffee “C” Rule amendments necessary to support implementation of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (or “ EUDR”). An Exchange Notice date April 5, 2024 announced the first such Amendment, and this Notice announces several additional amendments to the contract Rules. Effective June 3, 2024, the Exchange is implementing amendments to the Coffee “C” futures contract Rules which:
• Create a new requirement that all coffee that is submitted for Sampling and Grading in the delivery points of Antwerp, Bremen/Hamburg and Barcelona on and after December 31, 2024, must have EUDR information (defined in the amendment as “Validated DDI”) entered into an exchange-mandated system.
• Create a new definition of “Legacy Stock” (defined in the amendment as coffee stored in an Exchange Licensed Warehouse in the delivery points of Antwerp, Bremen/Hamburg and Barcelona, whether certified or not, which has a Bill of Lading date issued before June 29, 2023”), and which continues to be deliverable against the “C” contract with no additional penalty applied for delivery against the futures contract both before and after December 30, 2024.
• Create a new definition of “Transition Stock” (defined in the amendment as coffee stored in an Exchange Licensed Warehouse in the delivery points of Antwerp, Bremen/Hamburg and Barcelona which has a Bill of Lading issued on or after June 29, 2023, and which has been submitted for Exchange sampling and prior to December 31, 2024, and for which Valid DDI is not available in the DDI System.
• Provide that starting with the March 2025 expiry, delivery of Transition Stocks will incur a Transition Stocks Discount that accrues at 25 points per calendar month starting in January 2025, and at an additional 50 points per month starting in January 2026.
These amendments - which are contained in new Appendix VIII as shown below - do not apply to coffee stored in the other delivery points on the Coffee “C” futures contract. Any further amendments to the contract rules that are needed to support implementation of EUDR will be announced via an Exchange Notice at the appropriate time.

Like Wednesday, this morning’s data was considered good as well, providing support for stocks while generally allowing Treasury yields to slip a bit lower. The VIX is trading near 14.4, which is just above yesterday’s new low for the year. The dollar index is trading near 99.8. Yields on 10-year Treasuries are trading near 4.64%, while yields on 2-year Treasuries are trading near 4.15%. WTI crude oil is trading near $81 per barrel, while Brent trades near $87 per barrel.
