Coffee prices today, August 10, 2025: Soaring like a dream.

Coffee prices surged after the US imposed retaliatory tariffs, which is puzzling because, logically, Arabica prices should have fallen as competition from Brazilian coffee weakened.

This price movement reflects the strong influence of speculators, especially as the market expects the US Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in September. This makes capital cheaper, effectively boosting commodity markets, including coffee.

This is an opportune time for those holding inventory to sell before the upcoming harvest season, as the prospect of a bumper crop often doesn't coincide with the rapid price increases in the market.

The sharp rise in coffee prices presents a good opportunity for those who already have stock on hand, as existing agricultural products can be sold at high prices before new supplies become available.

World coffee prices today

On the London exchange, online robusta coffee futures contracts for September 2025 delivery closed the trading session on August 8th at $3561 per ton, a sharp increase of 1.18% ($143 per ton) compared to the previous trading session. However, the November 2025 contract increased by 3.94% ($133 per ton), reaching $3510 per ton.

On the New York Stock Exchange, the price of Arabica coffee for September 2025 delivery rose sharply by 3.88% (11.55 US cents/pound), to 309.35 US cents/pound. The December 2025 contract also increased by 3.88% (11.3 US cents/pound), to 302.45 US cents/pound.

Arabica coffee futures on the ICE exchange rose to their highest level in three weeks and are on track for a 7% gain this past week. This is due to the fact that trade between the US and Brazil remains virtually frozen after the Trump administration imposed a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil, coupled with a decline in the stock market.

According to traders, there have been virtually no new orders between the US and Brazil since the tariffs were implemented. Coffee shipments loaded in Brazil before August 6th can still enter the US duty-free if they arrive before October 6th.

Tight supply is also contributing to high prices. Data from Brazil's Ministry of Commerce shows that exports of unroasted coffee in July fell 20.4% year-on-year to just 161,000 tons. At the same time, ICE-managed arabica coffee inventories have fallen to their lowest level in 14.5 months, at 738,095 bags as of August 8th.

In addition, the Brazilian Real rising to its highest level in a month also supported coffee prices, as a stronger domestic currency reduced the incentive for Brazilian producers to sell on international markets.
