  • Coffee Prices Climb as ICE Inventories Hit Lows Amid Supply Concerns
    May 19, 2026, 5:13 PM EDT. Coffee prices surged with July arabica up 2.25% and robusta rising 1.18% on Tuesday as inventories on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) shrank to multi-month lows. Arabica stocks dropped to a 2.75-month low of 458,735 bags, while robusta reached a two-year low of 3,631 lots. The dip followed a three-week selloff that pushed prices into oversold territory, triggering technical buying and fund short-covering. Despite bullish inventory trends, expectations of a larger Brazilian coffee crop and soaring Vietnamese robusta exports weigh on prices. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) projects a 2% rise in global coffee production for 2025/26, with growing robusta output offsetting a decline in arabica. Ongoing disruptions like the Strait of Hormuz closure tighten supply and increase costs, supporting prices despite forecasts of a global surplus.
