Arabica coffee prices hit a 10-day high and robusta hit a more than two-and-a-half-week high. Robusta inventories tracked by ICE fell to just 4,227 lots, the lowest in three-and-a-half months.
In addition to inventory issues, coffee prices were also supported by the decline in the US dollar index to a three-year low and concerns about trade tensions between the US and China. Although negotiations are underway, tariffs continue to put pressure on commodity markets, including coffee.
Weather conditions in Brazil have also contributed to price volatility. Scattered rains in the Minas Gerais region have eased drought concerns, but the market is closely monitoring climate developments in key coffee growing regions.
World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market fell sharply on both exchanges:

Delivery in July 2025: Down 119 USD/ton, to 5,260 USD/ton.

World coffee prices have fallen sharply due to speculation and the uncertainty of US tax policies. Farmers and exporters need to be cautious when making purchasing decisions in the coming time.
Brokerage firm BMI, part of Fitch Solutions, has recently unexpectedly raised its forecast for the average price of Arabica coffee futures in 2025 to 340 US cents/pound, up sharply from the previous 240 cents/pound. The main reason is that the expected output in Brazil and Vietnam is lower than expected.
However, BMI also noted that the market is still very unpredictable, and if the US imposes tariffs on imported coffee, prices may continue to increase, reducing consumer purchasing power in large markets like the US.
