Arabica and robusta coffee futures closed lower on Friday as the Brazilian real weakened. The December arabica contract fell 0.55% and the January robusta contract fell 0.34%, after both had posted early gains.
A weaker real makes Brazilian coffee cheaper in dollar terms and can offset some of the price support from earlier gains. The effect on feed markets is indirect because coffee is not a feed ingredient.
After 621 past macro events, Brazilian Real (BRL per USD) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (53% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.4%), and +0.6% over 20.
