Domestically, demand has weakened as businesses have completed short-term export orders. On the other hand, the supply from the new crop is still being brought to the market, preventing coffee prices from recovering.
Coffee prices also fell due to the continuing sell-off as investors worried about a rebound in coffee inventories, while demand showed signs of slowing down.
World coffee prices today
Coffee prices on the world market are also subject to many fluctuations:
Robusta coffee (London):

Delivery in May 2025: Decreased by $36/ton, to $5,333/ton.
Arabica coffee (New York):

The coffee market is weakening after prices reached excessively high levels recently, causing demand to stagnate. This development is exactly as predicted by 12 traders and analysts surveyed by Reuters.
Traders say there are concerns that coffee consumption demand will be affected after the recent price surge. Meanwhile, investment funds are gradually scaling back long-term buy orders, and demand from roasters is also showing signs of decline.
However, Rabobank reports that coffee exports from Brazil – the world's largest producer – are slowing due to concerns about a fifth consecutive disappointing arabica crop. Brazilian inventories remain low, further increasing pressure on supply. For Vietnam, Rabobank also predicts that exports from the new crop are slowing. However, if prices fall sharply, exports could rebound in the near future.
Furthermore, the decline in coffee prices is also due to concerns about consumer purchasing power, especially after the US consumer confidence index fell sharply in February. This index dropped 7 points to 98.3 – the lowest level in the past 8 months.
