World coffee prices
On the London Stock Exchange, Robusta coffee prices turned down:
July 2025 term decreased by 39 USD, to 4,971 USD/ton
September 2025 term decreased by 27 USD, to 4,960 USD/ton
In contrast, Arabica coffee prices on the New York exchange continued to increase strongly:
July 2025 term increased by 10.20 cents, to 375.00 cents/pound
September 2025 term increased by 9.55 cents, to 371.35 cents/pound
This increase has put Arabica prices at their highest level in nearly a month.
Market analysis
Arabica coffee prices recovered strongly in the most recent session, thanks to speculative buying and expectations that unfavorable weather in Brazil will affect supply. Meanwhile, Robusta prices adjusted slightly after the increase at the beginning of the week, due to profit-taking and technical pressure.
In the domestic market, coffee prices today remained unchanged due to the cautious mentality of waiting for more clear signals from the world market. However, the general trend is still strong and unpredictable, depending largely on weather developments and consumption demand at the end of the second quarter.
