Lecture Description
Beginning in 2024, a new market environment has changed the playing field for all coffee participants in the coffee supply chain and for consumers as well: inverted markets, differentials, shipping logistics, cash flows, consumer demand, and last but not least, adverse climate effects, all managed to bring the new reality to market participants.
This lecture will delve into all the variables that have affected the coffee market over the past year and will identify the factors that stakeholders in the supply chain will need to negotiate going forward. The financial instruments that are used to transfer these risks to the financial markets will also be explained. The lecture will finish by presenting Stonex's Brazil Coffee harvest report and price outlook.
