Coffee prices increased from last Wednesday as the Brazilian Ministry of Commerce reported that Brazil's unroasted coffee exports in July fell -20.4% compared to the same period last year, down to 161,000 tons.
The decline in ICE coffee inventories is supporting Arabica prices, as Arabica inventories tracked by ICE fell to a 14.75-month low of 737,526 on Tuesday.

The coffee market is waiting for more clarity on US tariff policies, as President Trump has not yet exempted coffee from the 50% tax on Brazilian exports. This tax rate could affect Brazil's coffee sales to the United States and increase Brazil's coffee inventories.
Higher-than-average rainfall in Brazil eases concerns about drought and is a disadvantage for coffee prices. The Somar Meteorological Agency reported on Monday that Brazil's largest Arabica coffee growing region, Minas Gerais, received 4.8 mm of rain in the week ended on August 9, equivalent to 109% of the historical average.
