​​​Arabica coffee futures hit levels last traded in 1977

​Mounting global supply concerns caused by a severe droughts in Brazil, the world’s largest coffee grower, and Vietnam, another significant producer, have led to a spike in the price of Arabica coffee futures.

​These have risen to 323.05, a level last traded in 1977! The April 1977 all-time high at 339.90 represents a possible upside target. If overcome, the 350 region may be reached as well.

​Support can be seen around the 1997 peak at 308.90, followed by the minor psychological 300 region and the September 2011 high at 290.85.

​Brent crude oil price drops on Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire deal

​The Brent crude oil front month futures price dropped from last week’s 74.95 high, made marginally below its 74.97-to-76.16 resistance zone, to the 72.00 region amid Middle east de-escalation. Around the 72.00 level the Brent crude oil futures price has been supported over the past three days.

​Below Tuesday’s 71.65 low lies the key technical support at 70.64-to-69.91, the October-to-November lows.

​Minor resistance sits at the 14 November high at 73.03 and further up is seen along the 55-day simple moving average (SMA) at 73.98.

​Spot silver weighs on support

​The spot silver price dropped in line with the gold prices on de-escalation in the Middle East with the mid-November low at $29.68 offering support. If fallen through, the early August high at $29.22 would be in focus with the 200-day SMA at $29.08.

​Minor resistance can be found at the 21 November $30.65 low and along the October-to-November downtrend line at $30.88. While the next higher 19 November high at $31.54 and the 55-day SMA at $31.66 aren’t bettered, downside pressure should retain the upper hand.
