In New York and London, after a period of price volatility, both buyers and sellers are cautious, waiting for new information on the weather in Brazil to make decisions.

Buyers are worried about the high prices of coffee and hope that rains will help to reduce the price increase. In contrast, coffee producers in Brazil are uncertain about the upcoming crop and think that coffee prices will probably increase further.

One prominent problem is that the price of coffee on the real market and the price on the exchange do not match, making the price difference even more complicated, which has become a common phenomenon recently. One manifestation of this difference is that the price of coffee in Brazil does not increase in proportion to the increase in the world market price.

The US Federal Reserve's monetary policy has been adjusted after four years, affecting not only the US economy but also opening up opportunities for industries, including Vietnam's pepper industry.

The reduction of the basic interest rate to 0.5%, currently at 4.75-5%, has boosted consumer demand in the US and increased pepper exports from Vietnam to this market. This interest rate reduction is expected to have a major impact on the global pepper market.

Some experts believe that signs of supply shortage compared to demand will continue to be recorded and reflected in the market in the coming time until the crop season.
