28/01/2013

Coffee prices traded in New York tend to rise in the first quarter, according to the Dutch bank Rabobank. The institution, one of the largest agricultural lenders in the world, says the market begins to reflect the fall in the prices of the Brazilian crop in 2013/14 and the deficit in the supply of global commodity.
Rabobank also believes that a reversal of the high short position of investment funds in the stock market and the fall of the difference between Arabica and Robusta coffees (traded in London) also favour a rise in prices in New York.
