Arabica Coffee Futures at Over 2-Week Low

2025-10-27 15:28 By Luisa Carvalho 1 min. read

Arabica coffee futures eased to around $3.85 per pound, the lowest since mid-October, as concerns over tariffs eased following President Donald Trump’s comments that the US and Brazil could “reach a trade deal fairly quickly” during his meeting with counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Trump signaled a willingness to roll back the punitive 50% tariffs he had imposed on Brazilian goods, including coffee, which were imposed over Brazil’s policies and the criminal case against former President Jair Bolsonaro.

Meanwhile, traders remain focused on weather conditions across Brazil’s major coffee-growing regions during the critical flowering stage of the 2025/26 crop.

According to Climatempo, a new cold front will pass through the South and advance into the Southeast during the final days of October, bringing rain to key production areas.

Coffee prices remain up nearly 40% since August, fueled by Brazil’s drought and persistent global shortages, which have been intensified by US tariffs.

Arabica Coffee Futures at Over 2-Week Low
Arabica coffee futures eased to near $2.9 per pound, the lowest in over two weeks, pressured by expectations of increased global supply, especially from top producer Brazil. The start of the harvest in the coming weeks is expected to gradually increase the availability of coffee in the physical market, which reinforces seasonal pressure on prices. On Thursday, Marex Group Plc projected a record 2026/27 Brazil coffee crop of 75.9 million bags, surpassing last week’s forecast from Sucafina of 75.4 million bags, and representing a 15.5% year-on-year increase. Earlier this month, StoneX also raised its Brazil 2026/27 production estimate to a record 75.3 million bags, up from 70.7 million bags in November. At the same time, certified Arabica stocks have picked up recently, though still below historical norms, providing some relief to near-term supply pressures. Meanwhile, the market remains alert as Middle East tensions push oil prices higher, boosting transportation and operational costs.

Arabica Coffee Futures at Over 1-Month High
Arabica coffee futures rose further to around $3.2 per pound, the highest level since early February, due to signs of tightening short-term supply in top grower Brazil and ongoing external risks. A report by Cooxupé, Brazil’s largest coffee cooperative, estimated that exports would fall 10% in 2026 to around 4.4 million bags, down from 4.9 million in 2025. This short-term reduction in supply is a direct consequence of the smaller 2025 harvest, putting pressure on export volumes in the first half of 2026, although the outlook for the new harvest remains optimistic. At the same time, dealers noted that farmers continue to hold back sales in anticipation of higher prices, limiting availability. Geopolitical tensions and uncertainty over global trade flows, including risks to logistics routes and rising transportation costs, are providing additional support and helping sustain elevated prices.
