ICE arabica futures saw a near 4% increase on Tuesday due to concerns about the outlook for Brazil's next year crop, the world's largest producer. March arabica coffee closed at $1.689 a pound, hitting a two-week high. Despite the rising stocks, the increase is expected to end soon. Brazilian farmers and agronomists have lowered their expectations for the next crop after a disappointing post-bloom period. Meanwhile, raw sugar experienced a slight increase, but with funds holding a large long position, it is unlikely to be pushed much higher. March white sugar also rose by 1.0%.
