Coffee prices on August 26, 2025: Mixed fluctuations

Coffee prices on August 26 globally

On the global market, prices on both the London and New York exchanges moved in mixed directions on August 26, 2025.

Specifically, Robusta prices on the London exchange for September 2025 delivery rose by $ 108 (equivalent to 2.27%), reaching $ 4,866/ton. The November 2025 contract gained $ 130 (equivalent to 2.88%), standing at $ 4,650/ton.

Meanwhile, on the New York exchange, Arabica prices for September 2025 delivery slipped 0.7 cents (equivalent to 0.18%) to 389.95 cents/lb. The December 2025 contract lost 0.55 cents (equivalent to 0.15%), settling at 377.75 cents/lb.

Global coffee prices today were flat on the London exchange as trading paused for a holiday. Meanwhile, Arabica prices on the New York exchange edged down slightly due to profit-taking and the liquidation of long positions.

However, the market remains supported by a sharp decline in certified stocks on the ICE exchange. Specifically, Arabica inventories fell below 730,000 bags, the lowest level in over a year.

Robusta inventories also dropped to the lowest level in four weeks. This situation comes as roasters, particularly in the U.S., are seeking alternative supply sources after the U.S. government imposed a 50% tariff on coffee imports from Brazil.

In addition, forecasts of Brazil’s 2025/26 coffee output continuing to decline have further supported the upward momentum. Brokerage firm StoneX has lowered its projection for Brazil’s arabica production to 36.5 million bags, down 18.4% compared with the previous crop year.

According to StoneX, Brazil’s coffee production has been consistently challenged by climate conditions, and this situation is recurring in the 2025/26 crop. Furthermore, Minas Gerais, Brazil’s largest arabica-growing region, saw no rainfall during the week ending August 23.

Thus, global coffee prices today, August 26, 2025, showed slight fluctuations compared with yesterday.
