Coffee prices drop sharply, speculators rush to withdraw capital, market forecast this week?

Báo Quốc TếBáo Quốc Tế31/07/2023

Changes in monetary policy have had a strong impact on coffee prices this past week. In terms of supply and demand, the market is still concerned about short- and medium-term supply shortages, along with new crop sales pressure from Brazil, but there is also a divestment from coffee to switch to more attractive profit items.

World coffee prices weakened in the closing session last week, losing all the accumulation of previous sessions.

Coffee prices plummeted after the pressure of increased lending interest rates from central banks raising interest rates to new highs. In particular, the interbank interest rates for futures contracts were too high, causing funds and speculators to accelerate liquidation and withdraw capital from the coffee derivatives market due to unattractive profit levels, to switch to other commodities with more attractive profit levels.

Meanwhile, new crop coffee selling pressure from top producers is intensifying as Brazil’s local currency is likely to hit a new high against the USD.

Overall, the price of robusta coffee had 3 sessions of increase and 2 sessions of decrease, with slight decreases. The price of coffee futures for September delivery decreased by 14 USD, or 0.54%, to 2,588 USD/ton. Trading volume was above average.

Arabica coffee prices on the New York floor had 2 sessions of increase and 3 sessions of decrease, with the decrease being quite significant. Coffee futures for September delivery decreased by 3.95 cents in total, or 2.44%, to 157.90 cents/lb. Trading volume remained quite high above average.

Arabica coffee prices on the ICE Futures US New York floor, the September 2023 delivery period decreased by 3.55 cents, trading at 157.9 cents/lb. Meanwhile, the December 2023 delivery period decreased by 3.5 cents, trading at 158.2 cents/lb. Trading volume is high on average.

Highlights of the past week include reports on economic indicators in the US and many countries with large economies that have shown positive and optimistic developments, with signs of improvement in inflation, which is the basis for many central banks to adjust new monetary interest rates.

Earlier this week, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank announced interest rate hikes as expected. The ECB also hinted at a possible pause in September as inflationary pressures show signs of easing amid growing concerns about an economic slowdown.

The Fed has left the door open for further rate hikes, although Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has hinted at a September meeting. The monetary policy changes have had a strong impact on coffee prices this week. Meanwhile, supply and demand are not expected to have much impact on coffee prices at the two exchanges at this stage. Robusta coffee prices are still concerned about low supply and inventory in the medium and short term.

The phenomenon of falling coffee prices despite a shortage of goods, while new crop selling pressure, the erratic fluctuations of the USDX index, along with rising interest rates have prompted funds and speculators to shift capital flows to markets with higher immediate returns, is expected to continue.

Market developments affect the market outlook this week. According to experts' forecasts, prices on both exchanges will continue to fluctuate, going up and down in an extreme way according to the adjustment of the USD exchange rate.
