MILAN – Coffee futures prices saw contrasting trends during yesterday’s trading session on Tuesday, 30 December 2025. In New York, the contract for March delivery initially soared to its highest level in two weeks, driven upwards by weather reports from Minas Gerais, Brazil’s largest Arabica coffee producer, where rainfall remains well below seasonal averages.
However, the rally in the dollar index to a 1-week high triggered profit-taking, and the day ended with a slight decline, with the March contract closing at 350.20 cents.
Certified coffee stocks held against the ICE Arabica are down slightly and amounted to 455,727 bags on 30 December, consisting mainly of coffee from Brazil (81,527 bags), Mexico (72,560), Peru (69,077 bags), Tanzania (41,517 bags) and Honduras (37,781 bags).
Most of the stocks (374,281 bags) are stored in warehouses at the port of Antwerp, Belgium.
Although inventory levels have recovered from their November lows, when they fell below the 400,000-bag threshold, current stocks are almost reduced by half compared to the same period last year, when they amounted to 989,800 bags.
Robusta coffee futures, on the other hand, recovered. In London, the March contract gained 1.6% to settle at $3,945.
