"ICE open interest is big at over 198,000 lots.

ICE March robusta coffee stood at $1.04 a pound in late screen action. Another New York desk trader said "funds have been tossing money at it, pushing into overhead stops and forcing the shorts to cover. But the market"s not for the faint of heart, and you have to be careful at these levels. The seasonal tendency is for New York to be declining." Brazilian supplies are tight after drawndowns in the past year. The nation"s new crop is developing well, however, and looks large after favorable weather followed a dry September-October stretch. The new crop is expected to come in close to 48 million bags, according to Brazilian trade ideas, while National Commodity Supply Corp., or Conab, officials see output at around 44 million bags. Brazil"s carry-over in June will be low, but beans being picked from Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo trees could then keep supplies in line with needs. 지난해 브라질커피의 수확이 축소되어서 공급이 원활하지 않았다. 뉴크롭이 4천8백만백 예상, </PRE><PRE>그러나 결과는 대충 4천4백만백이다 </PRE><PRE>Brazil from Feb. 1-13 exported 647,044 bags versus 471,463 in the same January span, according to the Green Coffee Exporters Council.

Physical activity in Vietnam is picking up after Lunar New Year, but the nation"s growers continue to withhold beans, believing coffee to be a better store of value than cash.</PRE><PRE>베트남에선 커피 재배자들이 계속해서 생두를 시장에 내놓지 않고있다. 그들은 현재 커피를 </PRE><PRE>현금보다도 뛰어난 투자방법으로 믿고있다 ICE screen March is supported at $1.49, $1.4890, $1.4875-$1.4865 and $1.4850, with resistance at $1.5330, $1.5350, $1.5375, $1.5390 and $1.54.
