Global markets are showing signs of recovery.
On the international market, coffee prices recorded a strong upward trend on both the London and New York exchanges. Specifically, on the London exchange, Robusta futures for January 2026 increased by 2.31% to $4,157 per ton; the March 2026 contract also rose by more than 2.2%, reaching approximately $4,007 per ton.
On the New York exchange, Arabica coffee prices surged by more than 4% for the March 2025 contract, reaching 373.85 US cents per pound. The May 2026 contract also rose by over 3%, reaching more than 353 US cents per pound. This is the highest price for Arabica in about three weeks.
Analyzing the causes supporting the price
Data from Reuters and Barchart indicates that low levels of certified ICE stocks are a key factor supporting prices. As of January 5th, ICE-certified Arabica stocks stood at only around 452,900 bags, a sharp decrease from nearly 994,000 bags during the same period last year. Furthermore, speculators are increasing their net long positions, reflecting expectations of a positive short-term price trend.
In addition, Rabobank noted that geopolitical instability in Latin America and below-average rainfall in Brazil also contributed to supporting the market. The Brazilian Real's rise to a one-month high against the US dollar led Brazilian farmers to limit sales, thereby tightening local supply.
Global supply outlook
Despite high prices, upward pressure is somewhat tempered by signals of improving supply from major producing countries. Brazil's green coffee bean exports in December increased by more than 4% year-on-year. Meanwhile, Bloomberg notes that dry weather in Vietnam is creating favorable conditions for Robusta harvesting, helping to increase market supply.
According to data from the International Coffee Organization, global coffee exports reached over 10.4 million bags in November 2025. For the first two months of the 2025-2026 crop year, world exports totaled over 21.5 million bags, a slight increase compared to the same period last year. A clear shift in the supply structure is evident, with Arabica exports slightly decreasing while Robusta exports maintain their upward trend.
