Arabica Coffee Prices Soar as US-Colombia Tariff Spat Fades into the Background
A sudden burst of optimism has sent Arabica coffee prices to a 79% year-on-year gain, with futures on the ICE climbing 0.1% to $3.48 per pound in evening trading across Europe. The respite from what had seemed like an increasingly dire outlook – driven by President Trump's threat to impose tariffs and economic sanctions on Colombia – has injected new life into a market that had been caught in a vicious cycle of uncertainty.
While the prospect of increased tariffs still looms, traders appear content to put their concerns aside for now. This week's record-breaking prices – exceeding $3.48 per pound set in early December – are a testament to this collective sense of relief.
For all the turbulence that has buffeted the coffee market in recent months, there is now a renewed focus on fundamentals. And it seems that these have proved more than enough to keep investors and traders optimistic about the future prospects for Arabica coffee.
As prices continue their upward trajectory, producers are breathing a collective sigh of relief. The impact of tariffs would have been severe – and potentially devastating – for many farmers who already struggle to make ends meet in a market characterized by thin margins and intense competition.
