Eoin Treacy's view

Arabica coffee is particularly affected by weather conditions in Brazil and the price is also influenced by the outlook for the Real. Meanwhile Robusta coffee is much more dependent on growing conditions in the Vietnamese highlands

What I find particularly interesting at present is the commonality in the chart patterns of the two varieties. Arabica has tended to firm around the $1 area historically and is going so again. The rally over the last couple of weeks has broken the downtrend.

Generally, Arabica appreciates when the Real strengthens, but the Real has been pulling back rather sharply over the last few days on news Lula da Silva is to be released from jail which could potentially galvanise the leftist opposition against the more market friendly current administration.

Robusta has rallied to challenge the region of its trend mean and the multi-year sequence of lower rally highs. It is also firming from an historic area of support and a sustained move above $1400 would break the downtrend.

Elsewhere, cocoa has been steady in the region of the $2500 level for the last month and a sustained move below the trend mean would be required to check potential for an upward break.
