Coffee prices rose sharply this morning, with arabica hitting a three-week high in the latest delivery and robusta hitting a two-week high. Fund buying has driven coffee prices higher today as the onset of the El Nino weather phenomenon, which could reduce global coffee production.
The US Climate Prediction Center said Thursday (May 8) that sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific Ocean were 0.5 degrees Celsius above normal and wind patterns had changed enough to meet the criteria for El Nino. The El Nino pattern typically brings heavy rains in Brazil and droughts in India, negatively impacting coffee production.
The dollar index’s decline to a two-week low on Thursday (May 8) was a bullish signal for coffee prices. Smaller ICE arabica inventories also provided support, as ICE arabica inventories have been steadily falling over the past four months and fell to a six-and-a-half-month low of 555,206 bags on Wednesday (May 7).
Robusta is also supported by increased demand from roasters who are replacing arabica beans with cheaper robusta beans in many retail blends to control production costs and protect consumers from inflation.
Tight supplies of robusta coffee are supporting prices. Last month, July robusta coffee hit a contract high and the latest robusta coffee futures (K23) hit a record high (data going back to 2008).
USDA's FAS projected on May 22 that Indonesia's 2023/24 robusta coffee output will fall 20% year-on-year to 8.4 million bags after excessive rains hampered pollination, according to Barchart .
In addition, the USDA's FAS annual report on Wednesday (June 7) forecasts that Brazil's 2023-24 Arabica coffee production will increase 12% from the previous year to 44.7 million bags. USDA said most coffee-producing regions are in the negative year of the biennial production cycle and rainfall is mostly favorable in all growing regions, which could lead to lower coffee prices.
