Coffee prices on April 6, 2026: Domestic prices drop sharply

Coffee prices on April 6 globally

On the global market, prices closed the session ahead of the Good Friday break - when major exchanges in the US and Europe temporarily halted trading, with the coffee market recording a notable decline across both key exchanges.

On the London exchange, robusta prices declined broadly across all maturities. The May 2026 contract fell by $ 73/ton, equivalent to -2.06%, to $ 3,448/ton. The July 2026 contract dropped more sharply, losing $ 82/ton (-2.38%) to $ 3,346/ton, while the September 2026 contract also fell by $ 73/ton (-2.16%) to $ 3,285/ton.

A similar trend was seen on the New York exchange as arabica prices continued to adjust downward. Specifically, the May 2026 contract lost 2.40 cents/lb (-0.80%) to 295.40 cents/lb; the July 2026 contract decreased by 1.85 cents/lb (-0.63%) to 289.40 cents/lb; and the September 2026 contract fell by 1.45 cents/lb (-0.51%) to 276.65 cents/lb.

Global coffee prices declined due to pressure from expectations of a record harvest this year in Brazil, the world’s largest producer, although short-term supply remains tight as farmers are reportedly delaying sales.

Coffee prices have turned downward in recent sessions as a wave of long-position liquidation appeared in the futures market. According to Reuters and Barchart, profit-taking sentiment has increased amid expectations that diplomatic efforts between the US and Iran could ease tensions, potentially reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic shipping route that had previously been disrupted.

A notable point lies in domestic offering levels. Some farmers have continued to hold prices at high levels, reaching as high as VND 95,000/kg at times, creating a significant gap compared to the supply from Indonesia. In the context of a new harvest in this country, although not large, it is sufficient to add supply to the market at more competitive prices, and trading flows have quickly shifted.

In Indonesia, Sumatra robusta prices have shown flexible adjustments. The premium over the May contract decreased from $ 205 to $ 175, while the July premium increased from $ 110 to $ 170. This indicates the market is repricing by delivery periods, reflecting differing expectations for short-term and medium-term supply.

Thus, global coffee prices on April 6, 2026 have reversed downward again across major exchanges.
