Coffee Declines on Spec Selling
Arabica coffee futures were pressured by the weakness of the Robusta market that retraced from recent highs. The most active contract for March delivery settled 605 point or 3.26% lower at 179.20 cents a pound. Volume reached 43,561 lots, including 10,561 switches. The active nearby Mar/May switch was under pressure during the session but recovered unchanged for the closing bell. Forecast of good rains developing next week for the main producing areas that would improve the perspective of the Brazil 2024 crop encouraged the speculative action. The Latin America currencies devaluated today as the risk appetite for Latam assets declined. Disappointed economic data from China weighed on crude oil and commodities prices important export items for the region. Certified stocks increased by 8,150 bags to 267,340 bags. Pending grading declined 9,410 bags to 43,770. Today 11,190 bags were graded: 8,720 bags passed and 2,470 bags failed.
Robusta futures closed lower today in a technical correction following the rally in the previous session. The reference contract for March delivery settled $14 or 0.44% lower at $3,156 per ton. Prices were under pressure during the session on long liquidation as prices failed against previous high. However, fundamentals remain mostly bullish with producers in Vietnam holding back supplies in anticipation of prices to move even higher. The NY-LDN arbitrage fell to $0.3606. Cert stocks fell to a record low of 31,130 tons.
