Coffee Prices Retreat as the Supply Situation Improves
Barchart ^ | 05/16/2025 | Rich Asplund -

Posted on 05/18/2025 2:51:53 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

July arabica coffee (KCN25) Friday closed down -9.35 (-2.49%), and July ICE robusta coffee (RMN25) closed down -106 (-2.13%).

Coffee prices on Friday fell sharply, with robusta posting a 5-week low. Signs of bigger coffee supplies are weighing on prices after Safras Mercado on Friday reported that Brazil's 2024/25 coffee sales were 97% done as of May 13, above the 94% from the same time last year.

An increase in current coffee inventories is also pressuring coffee prices. ICE-monitored robusta coffee inventories rose to a 7-1/2 month high Friday of 4,890 lots. Also, ICE-monitored arabica coffee inventories rose to a 3-month high Friday of 851,169 bags.

I was wondering what was going on because a few weeks ago I was at the grocery store and I saw a can of Folgers for $17.

Anything good economically happening is due to the wonderful Brandon economy finally kicking in. Never due to bad orange man. /sarc

Jackie Chiles:

Who told you to take the free coffee? I didn’t tell you to take the free coffee. Coffee’s not hard to get. I can get my own coffee! I wanted to see what they were going to say next!

I don’t know. I just posted the link. Maybe you should ask the author of that report, who clearly seems to have gotten it wrong in regards to prices.
