फूल की बुराई
Il rimbalzo in atto dalla settimana scorsa ha portato ieri alla chiusura del gap superiore sulla spinta delle ricoperture dei fondi (che ricordo sono molto sbilanciati sul versante short) e degli acquisti dell'industria che devono forzatamente provvedere alla domanda invernale; visti in vendita gli origins, i produttori.

ODJ CSCE Coffee Review: 3 1/2-Week High; Funds Buy, Fills Gap
-- Funds Quite Short In Friday's Commitments
-- CSCE Open Interest Sets Another Record
By Susan Buchanan
New York, Oct. 27 (OsterDowJones) - Arabica coffee futures hurried to
3 1/2-week highs on the Coffee, Sugar & Cocoa Exchange Monday, filling an
overhead gap as funds covered shorts and bought in good volume.
Dec closed 145 points higher at 64.55 cents a pound, and Mar rose 120
points to 67.20c.
Dec gapped up as funds bought on the open, and entered an overhead gap
from earlier this month. Origins did some selling, traders said, and the
market soon eased into negative ground. Industry buying lent support however
and Dec recovered, but stalled at 64.00c. Late speculative buying lifted Dec
through the gap that ends at 64.55c, sparking stops.
The front month surged 175 points to 64.85c.
The Dec/Mar spread was active and ended at 265 points Dec under after
settling at 290 points Friday.
Futures volume was 15,120 lots, and in the options, 5,518 calls and 1,119
puts traded, the exchange said.
"Funds were pretty short in the Commitments (of Traders Friday), while
commercials were only long 3,000 lots," a floor broker said. "The demand
season has started and roasters can't count on the market coming down to where
they want to buy it.
"Roasters may have to start paying up here," he continued. "This could be
the move where funds are covering and buying and roasters are buying."
Brazilian supplies are tightening and exports are lagging after the
nation's cyclically smaller 2003-04 harvest, which ended in September.
Brazil from Oct. 1-23 exported 900,472 60-kilogram bags, below 1,673,528
bags in the same September period, according to the Brazilian Green Coffee
Exporters Council. Shipments were also beneath a year earlier.
October rainfall for spring flowering in Sao Paulo, Brazil, has been
running 76% below average for the month and in southern Minas Gerais 62%
lower, according to local Somar service.
Parana and western Sao Paulo Monday had showers, which should move into
Mogiana and Minas Gerais coffee areas Tuesday through Thursday. Blooming has
been fairly decent, but reduced grower care of groves is believed to have hurt
production potential.
The winter demand season is in progress in the U.S., Canada and Northern
Europe.
The CSCE officially opens its new grading facility in lower Manhattan on
Wednesday, "resuming its position as the premier provider of coffee and cocoa
grading" after terrorist attacks on headquarters two years ago, the exchange
said.
Funds stood net short 10,304 lots of CSCE arabica futures last Tuesday and
were short 12,555 lots of futures and options combined, above a week earlier,
Friday's Commitments of Traders Report showed.
CSCE arabica futures open interest of 83,009 lots early Monday was the
highest ever, outpacing Friday's record of 82,450 lots, traders here said.
Chart support for CSCE Dec lies at 63.00c, 62.50c, 62.00c, 61.60c to
61.50c, and 61.15c to 61.00c. Resistance is found at 64.85c, 65.00c, 65.30c,
65.50c, and 65.80 to 65.90c.
CSCE Dec options expire on Nov. 11.
