Coffee prices on April 1, 2026: Domestic prices drop sharply

Coffee prices on April 1 globally

Globally, coffee prices on the London and New York exchanges have rebounded strongly, with robusta increasing by $ 74/ton and arabica rising by 5.8 cents/pound. Green coffee inventories in Japan and Europe remain near low levels.

Robusta coffee prices for May 2026 delivery on the London exchange rose sharply by 2.16% ($ 74/ton) compared to the previous session, reaching $ 3,493/ton. The July 2026 contract increased by 1.7% ($ 57/ton) to $ 3,405/ton.

On the New York exchange, arabica coffee for May 2026 delivery also increased by 1.98% (5.8 US cents/pound) to 298.35 cents/pound. The July 2026 contract rose by 1.47% (4.2 cents/pound) to 290.8 cents/pound.

Global coffee prices surged mainly due to the Brazilian real (USDBRL) strengthening to a two-week high, triggering short-covering in the coffee futures market. A stronger real reduces export sales from Brazilian coffee producers.

However, prices are still under pressure from expectations of a record harvest in Brazil, the world’s largest coffee producer. In the short term, supply remains tight as farmers are reportedly delaying sales.

Recent declines in global coffee prices were driven by profit-taking in the futures market. According to Reuters and Barchart, market sentiment has become more cautious amid expectations that diplomatic efforts between the U.S. and Iran could ease tensions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz—a key global shipping route.

Traders noted that fundamental factors remain negative, limiting the potential for a sustained price recovery. Brazil is expecting a bumper crop this year, while tensions involving Iran have dampened demand in the Middle East. Nevertheless, inventories remain historically low in major consuming regions.

Thus, global coffee prices on April 1, 2026 have rebounded across major exchanges.
