The decline in coffee prices reflects the cautious sentiment of investors as the market enters a correction phase after a series of strong increases.
Analysts say that although coffee prices may fall in the short term due to profit-taking pressure, the long-term market outlook remains positive as global demand remains high while supply has yet to show signs of a sudden increase. Brazil’s 1.6% cut in exports in January 2025 may help keep prices from falling too deeply. The market is currently monitoring weather developments in major growing regions to assess supply prospects in the coming time.
