Key details
On October 8, 2025, Brazil's coffee market is experiencing heightened trading activity following a rise in prices at the New York Stock Exchange (ICE Futures US) and an appreciation of the dollar against the Brazilian real. The stronger dollar and bullish trends in global coffee futures have encouraged greater producer participation in the physical coffee market across Brazil.

Similar declines affected the cerrado region and Zona da Mata, where arabica coffee reached R$2,220.00–2,230.00 and R$1,580.00–1,600.00 respectively. Conilon coffee type 7 in Espírito Santo also saw prices dip to R$1,375.00–1,385.00 from previous higher levels. The subdued trading in Varginha was influenced by a local holiday, with many trading floors remaining quiet.

The ICE recorded a 1.65% increase in the December 2025 coffee contract to 381.60 cents per pound, rebounding from a prior 1.6% down day.
