World coffee prices

World coffee prices fluctuated in the same direction in the most recent trading session.

Robusta futures in November 2026 increased by 102 USD/ton, equivalent to 2.91%, reaching 3,612 USD/ton. The January 2027 term increased by 111 USD/ton, listed at 3,664 USD/ton.

Robusta futures for March 2027 increased to a maximum of 120 USD/ton, equivalent to 3.5%, reaching 3,549 USD/ton.

The July 2026 contract was recorded at 3,845 USD/ton, an increase of 84 USD/ton. However, the trading volume of this term is only 2 lots because the contract has approached maturity, so it does not fully reflect the general diễn biến of the market.

On the New York exchange, Arabica futures in September 2026 increased by 18.65 US cents/lb, equivalent to 6.71%, to 296.45 US cents/lb.

Arabica futures in December 2026 increased by 18.70 US cents/lb, reaching 282.1 US cents/lb. March 2027 futures increased by 18.9 US cents/lb, to 277.6 US cents/lb.

May 2027 futures increased by 19.4 US cents/lb, equivalent to 7.49%, reaching 278.30 US cents/lb.

Coffee preview

Coffee prices rose sharply to their highest level in 4.5 months, as heavy rains in Brazil slowed down harvest progress and raised concerns about crop quality.

In the past two weeks, coffee prices have continuously increased due to heavy rain hindering harvesting activities in the fields, and at the same time posing a risk of affecting the quality of coffee beans.

In addition, coffee inventory on the ICE exchange continuously decreased in the last 3 months, also supporting prices.

The market is also supported by concerns that El Nino may negatively affect the Brazilian coffee crop for the 2026-2027 crop year.

According to Commercial trading firm, El Nino may cause late rain in Brazil in September – October, when coffee trees enter the flowering stage. This may reduce crop yields in 2026 – 2027.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) estimates there is a 67% chance of a “Super El Nino” outbreak, possibly the strongest ever recorded.

On June 10, the Japan Meteorological Agency also confirmed that El Nino has formed in the equatorial Pacific region. This increases the risk of floods, droughts and temperature fluctuations in the coming months, affecting coffee production in Asia and South America.

Although prices are increasing sharply, the market is still under pressure from the prospect of large supply.

On June 9, Arabica prices fell to a 19-month low, while Robusta fell to a 2-month low, as the market expected Brazil to have a bumper crop.

The robusta supply from Vietnam – the world’s largest robusta producer – continues to put downward pressure on prices.

According to the General Statistics Office, Vietnam’s coffee exports in the first 5 months of 2026 reached 922,000 tons, an increase of 7.9% compared to the same period last year. In the whole year of 2025, Vietnam’s coffee exports increased by 17.5%, to 1.58 million tons.

Vietnam’s coffee production in the 2025-2026 crop year is also forecast to increase by 6%, reaching 1.76 million tons (equivalent to 29.4 million bags), the highest level in 4 years.

Oil prices moved higher during Tuesday’s trading session, but the overall market picture remains mixed. Brent crude and US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures are still heading for their biggest quarterly losses since the COVID-19 pandemic despite the day’s gains. Investors are watching several developments that could influence the market, including possible diplomatic discussions between the United States and Iran, shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz, and changing global supply expectations. Analysts are also reviewing updated price forecasts after concerns about supply disruptions eased. These factors will play an important role in determining whether crude oil prices continue to recover or face renewed pressure.

Why are oil prices up today, and will Brent and US WTI crude futures continue to rise or fall again?

Oil prices traded higher on Tuesday as investors reacted to developments surrounding possible diplomatic discussions between the United States and Iran. The market also continued to monitor the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes. Brent crude futures for August delivery, which expire on Tuesday, rose by 16 cents or 0.22% to reach $73.31 per barrel during trading. The more actively traded September Brent contract gained 45 cents or 0.61% to trade at $74.36 per barrel.

US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures for August delivery increased by 37 cents or 0.52% to $71.12 per barrel. Although prices moved higher during the day, both benchmark contracts remained on track for major monthly and quarterly declines. Brent crude was set for its third straight monthly loss, falling about 20% during June. US WTI crude was heading for its second consecutive monthly decline, losing around 19% during the month.

Looking at the broader picture, Brent crude had declined around 38% during the second quarter, while WTI crude had fallen approximately 29%. Despite recent volatility, both benchmarks have returned close to levels seen before the recent conflict disrupted energy markets.

Oil market watches US-Iran talks and Strait of Hormuz developments

One of the biggest factors influencing oil prices is the possibility of future discussions between the United States and Iran. Earlier expectations suggested that senior officials from both countries could meet in Doha. However, Qatar later confirmed that no high-level meeting would take place during the current visit.

Instead, technical-level discussions are expected to cover regional security issues. If progress is made, those discussions could eventually move to meetings involving senior officials. The announcement reduced expectations for immediate diplomatic progress while keeping uncertainty in the market.

The situation also highlights the fragile ceasefire reached on June 17 after months of conflict. The fighting had disrupted oil transportation through the Strait of Hormuz, creating concerns about global energy supplies. Because around one-fifth of global oil shipments pass through the Strait of Hormuz, any disruption in the region can quickly affect international oil prices.

Shipping activity eases some supply concerns

Analysts believe recent shipping movements have helped reduce some of the pressure on global oil supplies. UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said he would not say that the market has completely removed the geopolitical risk premium from oil prices. However, he noted that ships previously unable to leave the Gulf have now become available as more vessels move through the region.

This increase in shipping activity has temporarily added more oil supply to the market. As more crude cargoes leave the Gulf without major disruptions, traders have become less concerned about immediate supply shortages. This has limited further gains in oil prices despite continuing geopolitical uncertainty.

Analysts insights and market outlook

Several analysts believe that future oil prices will depend not only on geopolitical developments but also on global supply balances. Morgan Stanley now expects the global oil market to record an implied surplus of about 4.8 million barrels per day by 2027. A larger supply surplus could place downward pressure on oil prices if demand does not increase at the same pace. A separate Reuters survey also showed that analysts have lowered their oil price forecasts for 2026 for the first time since the Iran conflict began.

The survey followed five consecutive months of increasing price expectations. Analysts believe that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz has reduced fears of prolonged supply disruptions, making lower price forecasts more likely. The latest estimates suggest that traders now see fewer risks to global oil transportation than they did during the height of the conflict.

Iraq offers discounts to attract crude buyers

Another factor affecting the oil market comes from Iraq. According to trade sources and documents reviewed by Reuters, Iraq’s State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) has offered larger discounts on its official selling prices for Basrah crude loading in July.

The discounts are intended to encourage long-term customers to continue purchasing Iraqi crude from terminals located in the Middle East Gulf. Lower official selling prices can increase competition in the global crude market by making Iraqi oil more attractive to buyers. If additional discounted supplies enter the market, they may contribute to higher overall availability of crude oil. That could also place pressure on oil prices in the coming months.

What should investors do now?

Investors are likely to remain focused on several key developments before making long-term decisions. The progress of technical discussions involving the United States and Iran will remain important because any diplomatic breakthrough could influence future sanctions and oil exports.

Market participants will also continue watching shipping activity through the Strait of Hormuz for signs of renewed disruption or smooth transportation. Global supply forecasts from investment banks, demand trends, production decisions by oil-producing countries and pricing strategies from exporters such as Iraq will also shape market expectations.

While oil prices posted gains during Tuesday’s trading session, the broader trend still reflects significant quarterly losses. Future price direction will depend on whether geopolitical tensions increase again or whether improving supply conditions continue to outweigh risks.
