Coffee prices continue to show strong and constant fluctuations on international exchanges, trading with moderate losses on the morning of this Thursday (30).

In the previous session, prices had consolidated gains after yet another significant drop in ICE-certified stocks. According to Barchart, arabica inventories fell to their lowest level in a year and a half, reaching 446,475 bags, while robusta stocks declined to the lowest level in more than three months, at 6,111 lots. U.S. buyers continue to cancel new purchase contracts for Brazilian coffee due to the tariffs.

According to Reuters, so far, the exorbitant tax has caused damage to the U.S. coffee sector, leaving importers with shipments of Brazilian coffee stuck, roasters paying fees to cancel deliveries, and consumers spending up to 40% more on their morning cup.

A report from Carvalhaes Office highlights that even if the tariff on Brazilian coffee exports to the U.S. is removed, other market fundamentals will continue to drive volatility, including climate uncertainties that keep affecting production in Brazil and other producing countries, as well as low global stocks.

Around 9:40 a.m. (Brasília time), arabica was down 555 points, quoted at 385.15 cents/lb for the December/25 contract, a loss of 405 points to 366.75 cents/lb for March/26, and a drop of 370 points to 352.85 cents/lb for May/26.

Robusta posted a gain of $15, trading at $4,600/ton for November/25, a decline of $32 to $4,578/ton for January/26, and a drop of $27 to $4,497/ton for March/26.
