Short Covering Emerges in Coffee Futures on Dollar Weakness

July arabica coffee rose 0.85 cents, or 0.30%, and July ICE robusta coffee gained 3 points, or 0.09%, after both had fallen to 1.5-week lows. Prices recovered as the dollar index dropped to a 2-week low, triggering short covering in coffee futures. The move is technically driven and modest in scope, with limited broader market implications.
