Coffee Market Rises After Eased Trade Tensions and Concerns Over Brazilian Harvest

The international coffee market found renewed strength this Thursday (10) after the postponement of the reciprocal tariffs imposed by Trump, allowing fundamentals to once again support prices. Concerns over restricted global supply continue to drive the market higher, especially for robusta, as ICE-monitored stocks dropped to their lowest level in five weeks. In Brazil, the recent dry spell threatens bean development, potentially worsening losses already forecasted for the 2025 harvest.

Another factor that supported prices was the 24.7% drop in Brazilian coffee exports in March compared to the same period last year, according to data released by Cecafé. Despite the decline, the reduction was expected, as it coincides with the off-season and the current state of the coffee sector. Cecafé’s director, Marcos Matos, emphasized that Brazil is still seeking new markets and could regain global competitiveness with the arrival of the next crop.

In New York, arabica coffee closed the day higher, with gains across all futures contracts. Robusta in London also saw significant appreciation. In the domestic market, the scenario was mixed: some regions followed the international uptrend, such as Franca/SP and Guaxupé/MG, while others like Machado/MG saw declines. The peeled cherry variety posted modest gains in some municipalities in Minas Gerais, reflecting the physical market’s sensitivity to global fluctuations.
