Arabica and robusta coffee rebound as September contracts settle up 1.42% and 1.32%
Coffee rebounded after a sharp selloff as supply risks re-emerged: strong El Niño signals raise concerns for Brazil's 2026/27 crop via delayed rains during flowering, while Brazil's harvest remains behind pace and ICE arabica inventories hit a 2.5-year low. USDA's higher global output forecast tempers the upside, and rising Vietnam exports plus higher ICE robusta stocks weigh on robusta, leaving arabica comparatively supported.

Coffee prices rebounded on Friday as stronger El Niño signals revived concerns that Brazil’s 2026/27 crop could be reduced. Tightening supply indicators added support, including severely insufficient rainfall in Brazil, a slower harvest pace, and ICE arabica inventories falling to a 2.5-year low. While the USDA raised its global output outlook, the projection was framed around no further weather deterioration, with El Niño cited as a likely source of disruption. Surging Vietnam robusta exports continued to weigh on robusta, even as arabica found firmer support.
