Arabica coffee futures fell nearly 8% to around $3.20 per pound, as profit-taking followed a rally to a five-month high of nearly $3.50 on July 6.

The earlier advance was underpinned by weather concerns in top producer Brazil, where colder forecasts and potential El Niño-related risks, together with harvest delays spurred buying and short covering.

Fresh forecasts from Climatempo, however, pointed to mostly dry weather across Brazil's coffee-growing regions, supporting harvest progress and reducing frost concerns.

Meanwhile, Safras & Mercado said Brazil's 2026/27 harvest had reached 52% of the planted area by July 1, below last year's 60% pace and the five-year average of 55%.
