Meanwhile, Arabica inventory certified on ICE fell to its lowest level in 2.75 years. The increase in Robusta inventory is a factor that could put pressure on Robusta. This shows that the current upward momentum is still interspersedly affected by supply, inventory and harvesting activities in major producing countries.
