  • Dollar Strength Pulls Coffee Prices Lower Amid Supply Concerns
    April 29, 2026, 2:22 PM EDT. Coffee prices declined as a stronger U.S. dollar weighed on the market. July arabica coffee fell 0.07%, while July robusta dropped 1.18%. Arabica losses were limited by tightening inventories, which hit a two-month low of 494,508 bags on ICE. Supply concerns persist due to potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz from US-Iran tensions, driving up shipping and costs for roasters. Brazil's March green coffee exports dropped 10% year-on-year, and production forecasts show a record 2026 crop, potentially adding surplus. Vietnam's rising exports and production increases exert bearish pressure on robusta prices. ICE robusta inventories reached a 16-month low, providing some support. Overall, global coffee dynamics remain volatile with production forecasts projecting marginal increases alongside regional shifts in output.
