World coffee prices continued to fall, with futures markets returning to a negative trend, still due to new crop selling pressure from Brazil - the world's largest coffee producer and exporter. Favorable weather conditions for harvesting, with large coffee growing areas in southern Brazil dry, have supported farmers to harvest the new crop.
Conilon robusta coffee is now in the final stage of the season with the expectation that it will soon be released to the market, contributing to reducing concerns about supply shortages from major robusta producing countries in Southeast Asia, such as Vietnam, Indonesia... Meanwhile, the sharp increase in the Real exchange rate has not prevented Brazilian farmers from boosting coffee export sales due to the pressure of a bumper crop this year.
Preliminary data from the General Department of Vietnam Customs showed that coffee exports in June reached more than 140,607 tons, lower than the initial estimate of about 150,000 tons.

In the robusta coffee market, technical indicators are showing that the downward momentum is still there. In the short term, robusta coffee prices are expected to fluctuate and accumulate within the range of 2545 - 2610. Robusta prices need to increase above 2600 and maintain above this price level to find an opportunity to increase and recover. However, if they fail to do so, robusta coffee is likely to decrease to the support zone near 2540 - 2545.
In the Arabica market, according to technical analysis, technical indicators all give neutral signals, the price trend is not clear. It is expected that in the short term, the price may fluctuate and accumulate within the range of 155.5 - 160.
Arabica coffee needs to break above the MA10 at 160 and stay above this level to have a chance to recover. However, if Arabica coffee loses the support zone near 155 – 155.5, a downtrend may be established.
