The coffee market is currently in a tug-of-war between supply and demand as hedge funds are holding large short positions. If adverse weather conditions occur in Vietnam, short-covering activities could cause prices to surge in the short term.

On the supply side, Brazil continues to exert pressure as favorable harvest progress has led to abundant Arabica supplies. However, the country’s exports fell last month, while Robusta inventories on ICE, although increasing, remain at a long-term low, providing support for prices.

According to Volcafe’s forecast, the global coffee market will be short about 8.5 million bags of Arabica in the 2025/2026 crop year – marking the fifth consecutive year of deficit. USDA said that Vietnam’s coffee output tends to increase but is still affected by the weather, making price fluctuations in the medium and long term complicated.
