Domestic coffee prices continue to lose their mark
On the morning of June 18, the domestic coffee market continued its decline when prices in the Central Highlands provinces simultaneously decreased by 800 - 900 VND/kg compared to yesterday. The current price fluctuates around 109,100 - 109,700 VND/kg, which has fallen below the 110,000 VND mark - the price range that has been maintained for many days.
In Dak Lak and Dak Nong, coffee prices both recorded VND 109,700/kg, down VND 900 and VND 800 respectively. Gia Lai traded at VND 109,500/kg, while Lam Dong was the lowest at VND 109,100/kg, down VND 900/kg.
Compared to the beginning of 2025, the decrease has reached more than 20,000 VND/kg. However, compared to the same period in June 2024, the current price is still about 4,000 - 5,000 VND/kg higher.
World coffee market sinks in red
Along with the trend in Vietnam, world coffee prices also decreased sharply in the recent trading session. On the London Stock Exchange, Robusta's July 2025 futures lost $42/ton to $4,319/ton. Terms for September, November, July 2026 and beyond all decreased by 37 - 41 USD/ton.
In New York, Arabica prices fell more strongly, with the July 2025 term losing 8.10 cents/lb to 335.85 cents/lb. The remaining terms all fell by over 6.5 cents, pushing the price level back to the 318 - 332 cents/lb range.
This is the third consecutive deep decline in both coffee exchanges, marking speculators' cautious sentiment in the face of new reports of increased inventories in the US and stable weather developments in Brazil - the world's largest coffee exporter.
Profit-taking pressure dominates the trend
The simultaneous decline in domestic and international coffee prices in recent days stems from strong profit-taking pressure after a long period of increase. Along with that, positive weather information in Brazil and additional inventories on the ICE have erased much of the short-term upside momentum.
The market is entering a sensitive area, as buyers and sellers are temporarily standing outside to observe more. It is expected that in the next few sessions, prices may continue to fluctuate within a narrow range, before more signals appear from export reports and third quarter seasonal data.
