  • Coffee Prices Surge to 5-Week Highs on Brazil Rain Delays and Supply Concerns
    June 16, 2026, 6:44 PM EDT. Coffee prices reached 5-week highs on Tuesday, with Arabica up 5.44% and Robusta rising 1.72%, driven by heavy rain forecasts in Brazil risking harvest delays. Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, faces persistent rainfall across its coffee regions, supported by a forecast for moderate to heavy rain from Vaisala. ICE Arabica inventories fell to a 6.75-month low, reinforcing supply tightness. Meanwhile, concerns mount over a potential El Niño event, projected to be one of the strongest on record, threatening Brazil's 2026/27 coffee crop with delayed rains during critical flowering months. Despite a USDA forecast of a record 2026/27 Brazil coffee crop of 71.9 million bags, supply risks and tighter shipping conditions caused by the Strait of Hormuz closure bolster prices. Vietnam's rising coffee exports create pressure on Robusta prices, but supply challenges persist for global coffee markets.
