  • Dollar Strength Pressures Coffee Prices Amid Weather and Supply Concerns
    June 18, 2026, 4:06 PM EDT. Coffee prices fluctuated on Thursday, with July arabica coffee falling 0.99% and July ICE robusta coffee rising 0.14%. A rally in the dollar index to a 13-month high triggered long liquidation in coffee futures. Weather forecasts predict moderate to heavy rain in Brazil's coffee regions this week, supporting prices, but dry conditions next week tempered gains. ICE arabica inventories hit a 2.25-year low, vertically supporting prices, while robusta inventories remain volatile. Concerns over a potential strong El Niño, which could disrupt Brazil's 2026/27 crop, add upward pressure. The USDA forecasts a record Brazilian coffee crop for 2026/27, but increased exports from Vietnam weigh on robusta prices. Vietnam's coffee exports rose sharply year-on-year, contributing to mixed market signals.
