Coffee prices fluctuated continuously following the movements of the USD. At the beginning of the week, positive news from the US-China trade negotiations increased the USD, causing coffee prices to fall sharply. Then on Wednesday, the CPI index decreased slightly, weakening the USD, pushing coffee prices higher. On Thursday, after the US and China agreed to reduce tariffs for 90 days, the USD increased, causing coffee prices to fall sharply again.

According to the latest report from the International Coffee Organization (ICO), in March, three of the world's four major coffee exporting regions recorded growth, with only South America continuing to decline. This caused South America's export share of the global coffee total to fall to 35.7%, its lowest level since June 2023.

Specifically, the South American region exported only 4.6 million bags of coffee in March, down 15.9% compared to the same period last year. This decrease is partly due to the fact that in the 2023–2024 crop year, Brazil has increased exports sharply to compensate for the shortage of supply from Vietnam, due to the impact of a poor crop.
