The Brazilian coffee market had a Wednesday of firm prices, from stable to higher. The moderate rise of arabica on the New York Stock Exchange (ICE Futures US) and the dollar at the close supported prices in the country. However, the day was slow and emptied in terms of business, given the erratic behavior of the stock exchange and the holiday this Thursday (7).
Many agents only return to activities next Monday, the 11th, which made the pace of negotiations even slower. In the case of conillon, the market was stable, with mixed prices on the London exchange for robusta.
