Perspectives and forecasts
According to Reuters, coffee prices fell in the recent trading session due to the USD index rising to the highest level in 4 weeks, causing a phenomenon of selling off long-term buying positions on the coffee futures market.
Although Arabica coffee prices on the ICE exchange fell from a 3-week high, the market still closely followed the political tensions between the US and key suppliers after the US military campaign in Venezuela.
Traders said tensions between the US and leading suppliers are likely to escalate, creating a risk of price increases for the market.
