Coffee futures closed at 280¢/lb — down 2.5% on the week and down 3.1% on the month. The regime model reads the market as crisis and has for 38 sessions. Growing conditions look unremarkable: Central Highlands rainfall is near its seasonal norm (-0.4σ). The crop is in its maturation & harvest window, and stage-weighted stress is low. A weakening Brazilian real (+9.6% in a month) raises producers' local-currency revenue per bag — added selling pressure. Looking ahead: the 14-day forecast calls for 38 mm of rain in the robusta belt against a 85 mm seasonal norm (-1.0σ) — projected crop stress: low (Open-Meteo forecast model, issued 2026-11-07; skill scored publicly as windows close).
