The price of coffee has established an operating range that ranges from the minimum reached at 144.10 cents per pound on October 10, 2023 to the maximum of 248.20 reached on April 18. Based on this range we observe that the market is balanced, reaching the area with the greatest acceptance according to the Volume Profile.

Brazil and Vietnam are the key producers in the world

Climatic issues are a fundamental part of coffee production, taking into account that the “El Niño” phenomenon influences the supply of coffee in the Latam region. The most recent harvest data indicates high production and therefore downward pressure on the price. The International Coffee Organization reported an increase in exports of 8.1% on May 3 compared to the previous year.
