  • Brazilian Real Strength Drives Coffee Prices Higher
    April 11, 2026, 3:41 AM EDT. Coffee prices climbed on Friday with May arabica up 2.18% and May ICE robusta up 0.42%. The Brazilian real hit a two-year high against the U.S. dollar, making Brazilian coffee exports more expensive and less attractive, supporting price gains. ICE robusta inventories dropped to a 1.25-year low, tightening supply. Arabica inventories, however, rose to a 6.25-month high, cooling arabica price gains. Lower rainfall in Minas Gerais, Brazil's key arabica region, further underpins prices amid forecasts for a record Brazilian coffee crop in 2026/27. Vietnam's robusta exports surged 14% year-on-year for early 2026, weighing on robusta prices. Meanwhile, exports from Brazil tumbled sharply in February and March. Global supply tightness, geopolitical disruptions like the Strait of Hormuz closure, and currency shifts are shaping the coffee market outlook.
