Coffee prices find support as Brazil’s 2026/27 harvest reaches 90% by Aug. 12
Coffee markets are balancing supply and disruption signals. Brazil's 2026/27 harvest is progressing slower than last year, supporting prices, while below-normal Minas Gerais rainfall could accelerate picking, tempering bullishness. Colombia's earthquake has intermittently constrained exports despite partial port reopening. Inventories diverge: ICE arabica stocks fell to a 2.75-year low (supportive) while robusta stocks rose (bearish). Strong Vietnam exports and USDA's higher global output forecast cap upside.
