MYSTERIOUS: Coffee posts moderate gains on global production concerns | Mind Blowing Facts

September arabica coffee (KCU24) Thursday closed up +1.30 (+0.53%), and Sep ICE robusta coffee (RMU24) closed up +99 (+2.21%).

Coffee prices posted moderate gains on Thursday, with Sep arabica and Sep robusta posting contract highs.  Coffee prices have rallied sharply this week due to concern that drier-than-normal conditions could adversely affect Brazil's and Vietnam's coffee crops.  Somar Meteorologia reported Monday that Brazil's Minas Gerais region received 1.3 mm of rain last week, or only 24% of the historical average.  Minas Gerais accounts for about 30% of Brazil's arabica crop.  Also, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that despite recent rain, some coffee producers in Central America still face a moisture deficit following a drought at the start of the season.
