Lecture Description
Once again the coffee market has been exposed to extreme price volatility. 2024 - 2025 will be no different, as new sets of variables enter the mix, and will certainly place new obstacles for supply chain participants to navigate in an already difficult market environment. This lecture will delve in all of the variables that have affected the coffee market over the past 2 years and will identify the factors that stakeholders in the supply chain will need to negotiate going forward. A look into the financials instruments that are used to transfer these risks to the financial markets will be explained. The lecture will finish by presenting Stonex's Brazil Coffee harvest report and price outlook.
