Why Coffee Futures Are Falling as Roasters Squeeze
from The Commodities Economy with Fexingo: Oil, Gold, Wheat, and Raw Material Markets · host Fexingo
Coffee prices are down nearly four percent in a week, even as the broader commodity complex is mixed. Lucas and Luna break down why arabica futures are falling: a bumper Brazilian harvest, a stronger dollar, and the quiet consolidation happening among major roasters. They walk through the math — how a 3.7 percent drop in the futures market translates to maybe thirty cents off a bag at retail, and why the big guys like Nestlé and J.M. Smucker are actually in a stronger position to weather the move than independent cafes. If you've wondered why your morning latte hasn't gotten cheaper even as 'coffee is crashing,' this episode explains the lag, the contracts, and who really benefits. #Coffee #Arabica #Commodities #Futures #Brazil #Roasters #Nestle #JMSmucker #SupplyChain #Inflation #Retail #SoftCommodities #Economics #Agriculture #Currency #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Markets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
