  • Coffee Prices Rise on Technical Short-Covering Amid Oversupply Concerns
    May 19, 2026, 1:55 PM EDT. Coffee prices rebounded on technical short-covering after a three-week selloff pushed them into heavily oversold territory. July arabica futures rose 1.40%, while robusta futures gained 0.82%. Prices initially dropped to multi-month lows amid expectations of a larger 2026/27 Brazilian coffee crop, projected by various firms to increase between 12% and 15.5% year-on-year. Global coffee surplus forecasts also point to a rise, with StoneX expecting a 10 million bag surplus in 2026, up from 1.8 million bags in 2025. Vietnam's surging coffee exports and production add bearish pressure, although falling ICE inventories and disruptions like the Strait of Hormuz closure support prices. USDA forecasts record world coffee production in 2025/26, with robusta output climbing sharply. The market balances abundant supply against logistical challenges and technical buying.
