With no directly catalyst or data released, futures on COFFEE are losing today almost 5% today. We can find the reason of it in change in Vietnam weather, where heavy rains are seen today according to NOAA data. Drought market conditions supported a strong rebound on coffee futures market last weeks, but now weather may change. Also, weather forecasts suggest that coming days may bring more rain, improving the supply and demand ratio for coffee as bean harvest conditions improve.
