Update world coffee information

In early June 2023, Robusta and Arabica coffee prices increased simultaneously. Unfavorable weather conditions in major coffee growing regions and technical demand from hedge funds pushed up commodity prices, according to the latest report from the Import-Export Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade).

On the London Stock Exchange, on June 9, 2023, the price of robusta coffee futures for delivery in July 2023, September 2023, November 2023 and January 2024 increased by 7.2%, 7.8%, 7.0% and 5.6% respectively compared to May 29, 2023, to USD 2,760/ton; USD 2,726/ton; USD 2,643/ton and USD 2,557/ton.

On the New York Stock Exchange, on June 9, 2023, the price of Arabica coffee futures for July 2023, September 2023, December 2023 and March 2024 increased by 7.3%, 6.0%, 5.6% and 5.5% respectively compared to May 29, 2023, to 194.85 US cents/lb; 190.35 US cents/lb; 187.65 US cents/lb and 187.2 US cents/lb.

On Brazil's BMF exchange, Arabica coffee futures prices fluctuated. On June 9, 2023, Arabica coffee futures for July 2023, December 2023 and March 2024 increased by 2.3%, 0.1% and 0.7% respectively compared to May 29, 2023, to 223.45 US cents/lb; 215.75 US cents/lb and 220.1 US cents/lb. In contrast, Arabica coffee futures for September 2023 decreased by 0.2% compared to May 29, 2023, to 216 US cents/lb.

In the coming time, world coffee prices will be supported by unfavorable weather factors in producing countries. The National Climate Center of the US Government forecasts that there is a 90% chance of El Nino weather conditions occurring later this year, threatening localized drought in producing countries around the Pacific Rim and bringing heavy rain to the main coffee growing regions of Eastern Brazil and West Africa.

In addition, concerns that major central banks will implement a new round of interest rate hikes while the global economy remains unstable have weakened the USD, and speculative capital continues to flow into commodities, including coffee. Demand for robusta coffee is increasing due to the economic recession.
