Coffee Markets Close Apart
The New York “C” market for March delivery settled 290 points or 1.6% higher at 184.05 cents a pound. The market endured growing volatility as prices rallied 3.75 % or 6.80 cents early in the session. The move was supported in part by short covering after players have added short positions so far this month anticipating further losses. The constructive chart attracted speculative buying as well. Substantial buying of NY- LDN March arbitrages, added fuel to the raise. The arb premium ended at $0.5078 after trading at $ 0.487 earlier evidencing the arbitrageurs buying. During December, the premium reached $0.71. The Mar/ May switch gained 85 points ending at 3.05 cents. Good speculative buying boosted the premium up to 3.80 cents. Cert stocks were unchanged at 258,066 bags. Pending grading added 13,278 (BR) for a total of 48,000 bags.
Robusta Mar24 contract settled at $2938 -12 with a 2992/2928 range. Choppy session with limited commercial activity. Robusta struggled to gain traction even with the aid of a rally in Arabica. Seemed as though speculative arb buying was putting a lid on Robusta prices. Volumes were on the low side with only 8.8k lots trading on the most active Mar24 contract. Mar/May saw an inside day range with very little excitement, only 2k lots traded between 98/112. Robusta May24 2600 puts vs 2872Δ28 traded 750x @ 77, Robusta Mar24 2850 puts vs 2970Δ34 traded 600x @ 85.
