Copper price suffered new positive pressures due to the continuation of forming extra support by moving average 55 stability near $5.9500, besides stochastic rally to 80 level, forcing it to delay the previously waited corrective attempts by its rally towards $6.2850, approaching the initial barrier.

The continuation of the positive pressure might push it to surpass the current barrier, to record some gains by its rally towards $6.3800 and $6.4500, while the failure of the breach will force it to provide mixed trading with a new chance to target $6.1000 level, reaching the mentioned support to find an exit for activating the corrective trend again.

The expected trading range for today is between $6.1500 and $6.3800

Trend forecast: Bullish

Platinum price kept providing weak sideways trading by its stability near $1605.00 level, affected by the contradiction of the main indicators, obstructing the attempts of activating the suggested negative trend.

The price needs a new negative momentum, which allow it to reach $1510.00 support, while breaking it will confirm its move to a new negative station, to target $1440.00 level, reaching $1310.00, while holding above this support might provide a chance for recording some gains by target $1690.00 level, reaching the barrier near $1785.00

The expected trading range for today is between $1555.00 and $1680.00

Trend forecast: Fluctuating 

Domestic coffee prices today

Coffee prices today in the domestic market slightly decreased in key production areas. The average price was recorded at 96,000 VND/kg, down 200 VND/kg compared to the previous update.

In Dak Lak, coffee prices decreased by 200 VND/kg, down to 96,000 VND/kg. In Gia Lai, coffee prices also decreased by 200 VND/kg, to 96,000 VND/kg.

In Lam Dong, coffee prices today reached 95,500 VND/kg, down 200 VND/kg. This is the lowest level among the surveyed areas.

The old Dak Nong area recorded the highest purchase price, reaching 96.100 VND/kg, down 200 VND/kg compared to the previous update.

Despite a slight decrease, the domestic coffee price level still remains high, significantly higher than the area below 93,000 VND/kg recorded in the first sessions of July.

The USD/VND exchange rate according to Vietcombank was recorded at 26,040 VND/USD, down 10 VND.

World coffee prices

World coffee prices simultaneously decreased in the update table on July 14. Both Robusta on the London exchange and Arabica on the New York exchange recorded red in many terms.

On the London exchange, the September 2026 Robusta futures contract fell 18 USD/ton, equivalent to 0.47%, to 3,834 USD/ton.

During the session, this contract at one point reached 3,907 USD/ton but then narrowed down, sometimes falling back to 3.769 USD/ton. Trading volume reached 8,367 lots.

Robusta for November 2026 delivery fell 23 USD/ton, equivalent to 0.60%, to 3.796 USD/ton.

The January and March 2027 terms decreased by 24 USD/ton and 22 USD/ton respectively, to 3,766 USD/ton and 3,736 USD/ton.

The July 2026 Robusta contract stood at 3,854 USD/ton, down 38 USD/ton. However, this term has low trading volume because it is close to maturity, so the September contract reflects the market trend more clearly.

On the New York exchange, Arabica also decreased in terms. September 2026 Arabica futures fell 4.25 US cents/lb, or 1.27%, to 330.00 US cents/lb.

Arabica December 2026 futures fell 4.95 US cents/lb, or 1.57%, to 311.05 US cents/lb.

The March and May 2027 terms decreased by 4.90 US cents/lb and 4.70 US cents/lb respectively, to 304.75 US cents/lb and 302.80 US cents/lb.

The July 2026 Arabica contract reached 341.40 US cents/lb, down 1.60 US cents/lb. However, this term has lower trading volume than long-term contracts because it is close to maturity.

Coffee price assessment

Domestic coffee prices slightly decreased after strong fluctuations, while world prices continued to adjust. This development shows that the market is still under pressure after the hot increase in early July.

However, the domestic price level is still maintained in the high zone. The fact that the price is still around 96,000 VND/kg shows that the market has not returned to the previous low zone, especially when weather, inventory and supply factors are still closely monitored.

From a global supply-demand perspective, the International Coffee Organization (ICO) said that the average ICO aggregate price index for May 2026 reached 256.05 US cents/lb, down 3.8% compared to the previous month, in the context of market reaction to improved supply prospects.

For Brazil, the Foreign Agricultural Services Agency of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA/FAS) quoted a forecast from the Brazilian National Supply Company (CONAB) as saying that Brazil’s coffee production in the 2026-2027 crop year may reach 66.7 million bags, an increase of 18% compared to 2025. The prospect of a large crop in Brazil is a factor that could put pressure on Arabica prices in the medium term.

Rabobank of the Netherlands also assessed that Arabica is under stronger pressure due to expectations of increased supply associated with the 2026-2027 Brazilian coffee crop. In the Brazilian coffee market update, Rabobank said that Arabica prices fell more sharply than Conilon, reflecting concerns about improved supply.

UK Stock Market Forecast Today (July 13): What Investors Should Know (FTSE Indices)?

The UK stock market is likely to trade cautiously today, with the FTSE 100 hovering around the 10,497-point mark after recording a modest gain of 0.24%. Investors remain focused on the impact of rising US-Iran geopolitical tensions, which have pushed global crude oil prices sharply higher.

Although strength in the energy sector is providing support to London’s heavyweight commodity stocks, broader risk aversion is limiting market upside and keeping mid-cap indices such as the FTSE 250 under pressure.

Oil prices are expected to remain highly volatile this week as traders continue to monitor developments surrounding the US-Iran conflict, the security of the Strait of Hormuz, and upcoming U.S. inventory data.

Bullish scenario

If military tensions escalate further or any disruption to shipping routes in the Gulf is confirmed, crude oil could extend its rally. A sustained move above $80 would likely attract additional momentum buying, increasing the probability of WTI testing $82–85 in the coming sessions. Falling U.S. crude inventories would provide another supportive catalyst.

Neutral scenario

If geopolitical headlines stabilize without further escalation, WTI may consolidate between $77 and $80 as traders digest the recent surge. Markets would then shift their focus to macroeconomic data, Federal Reserve expectations, and global demand indicators.

Bearish scenario

The main downside risk is a de-escalation in Middle East tensions or signs that oil exports remain largely unaffected. In addition, concerns about global oversupply and potential production increases from major producers could limit further gains. Under this scenario, WTI could retreat toward the $75–76 support zone before finding fresh buying interest.

Weekly Outlook

Overall, the short-term bias remains bullish, but price action is likely to stay headline-driven. Geopolitical developments will continue to dominate sentiment, making crude oil one of the most volatile assets in global markets this week.

WTI Weekly Forecast: $77.00–85.00

• Bullish target: $82.50–85.00

• Base case: $77.00–80.00

• Bearish risk: $75.00–76.00

For active traders, the $80 level remains the most important resistance to watch. A confirmed breakout could signal the start of another bullish leg, while failure to hold above $77.50 may trigger a short-term correction before the next directional move.
