फूल की बुराई
Tra giovedì e venerdì sera scorsi sono usciti i report del governo brasiliano e dell'USDA: il ministero dell'agricoltura brasiliano ha fatto uscire una stima del nuovo raccolto 2004/5 di 35-36 milioni di 60Kg bags, molto al di sotto dei numeri che circolavano sino a qualche mese fa sul mercato e che parlavano addirittura di un raccolto boom di 50 mln di bags. Anche il raccolto 2003/4 è stato rivisto al ribasso da 32 mln a 29 mln di bags. Il mercato ha accolto con scetticismo le cifre brasiliane, definendole troppo drammatiche , anche a causa delle stime troppo "politiche" uscite per molti anni dalle stanze dei ministeri brasiliani.
Il tropical products report dell'USDA non ha fatto stime sul raccolto brasiliano 2004/5 bensì ha rivisto al ribasso quello precedente ai 32 mln di bags ( contro la cifra di 29mln bags fornita dal Brasile) ; la produzione mondiale 2003/4 è stata data a 105,3 mln di bags, in ribasso del 15% rispetto la stagione precedente. Il testo in originale rilasciato dall'USDA lo metto alla fine dell'articolo.
Il COT uscito sempre venerdì sera ha confermato la posizione pericolosamente esposta sul lato short dei fondi
Il mercato ha avuto un pò di giorni per masticare i dati usciti, Londra ha dato il là a rialzo, seguita da NewYork con un'altra apertura in gap e la ricopertura sui massimi giornalieri di un vecchio gap lasciato aperto a 67 cents. I fondi hanno coperto qualche migliaia di shorts in stop e c'è stata qualche vendita sulla forza degli origins e in particolare dei produttori centroamericani. I Roasters continuano a comprare , quelli europei fanno grandi acquisti sfruttando la debolezza del dollaro.
Mantengo la posizione con il long e la call100 su marzo. Siamo ancora all'interno del trading-range 56-72 .
Tropical Products: World Markets/Trade--USDA
Friday December 5, 3:16 pm ET
WASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Following are selected
highlights from the Department of Agriculture's Tropical
Products: World Markets and Trade report issued by the Foreign
Agricultural Service on Friday:
"Coffee Updates
Summary
World coffee production in 2003/04 is forecast at 105.3 million
bags (60 kilograms or 132.276 pounds), down nearly 2 percent
from the first forecast made in June, and down 15 percent from
the 2002/03 season. The major downward adjustment from the June
forecast comes from the Brazil crop. Brazil's coffee production
in 2003/04 is now estimated at 32.0 million bags. Other major
downward revisions since June, in 60-kilogram bags: Cote
d'Ivoire, 1.1 million bags; Indonesia, 350,000 bags; Dominican
Republic, 225,000 bags; India, 73,000 bags; and Angola, 45,000
bags. A major upward revision since June, in 60-kilogram bags,
occurred in Vietnam, up 1.1 million bags.
Total coffee supply in producing countries in 2003/04 is
forecast at 134.9 million bags, down nearly 8 percent from the
revised 2002/03 level.
Mainly as a result of lower supply, world coffee exports in
2003/04 are forecast to decrease by 5.0 million bags from last
year's revised level. Brazil's total exports of coffee in
2003/04 are forecast at 24.5 million bags, a decrease of 4.9
million bags from the 2002/03 level. In order to maintain even
this level of world coffee exports, stocks in producing
countries are forecast to decline to 21.4 million bags, down 24
percent, or 6.8 million bags of coffee from last year.
World coffee consumption in 2002/03 is estimated at 114.0
million bags, up less than 1 percent from the preliminary
2001/02 level 86.9 million bags in importing countries and 27.1
million bags in exporting countries. Although USDA does not
maintain an official database for importing and consuming
countries, world consumption is calculated using the
information that is available. World consumption can be
estimated based on net exports from producing countries, the
change in major importers, stock levels, plus consumption in
producer countries. Exports from producing countries are
assumed to be consumed in the importing countries, after
adjusting for changes in the stocks levels in the importing
countries.
Brazil
Brazil's coffee production estimate for marketing year (MY)
2003/04 (July-June) is revised downward to 32.0 million bags, a
nearly 5-percent decrease compared to the June estimate.
Arabica coffee production should account for 22.6 million bags,
while Robusta production should contribute 9.4 million bags.
Major revisions for southern Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo
reflect lower than expected crop yields. As reported by
traders, the harvest season is over and the quality of the
beans is reported to be uniform and good to better-than-good.
No changes have been made with regard to coffee area and tree
population. The table below shows the coffee production
estimate by state and variety of coffee from MY 1998/99 to MY
2003/04.
Vietnam
Vietnam's 2003/04 coffee area (for the crop harvested in
October 2003 and marketed in the period to September 2004)
continues to decline, as some of the low-productive and
over-aged coffee areas are being converted to more profitable
crops. The 2003/04 planted coffee area is estimated at about
510,000 hectares, down about 10,000 hectares from last year.
The area reduction was mainly in the robusta growing areas in
the Tay Nguyen (Central) Highland provinces. In Dak Lak
province--the largest coffee-producing area in the
country--corn, cocoa, cotton, and cashews replaced several
thousand hectares of coffee. In some areas, arabica coffee is
one of the alternative crops chosen to replace low-profit (or
no-profit) robusta coffee. The 2003/04 coffee production
estimate is revised upward to 11.8 million bags due to better
crop yields from better nursery care, higher input use, and
better weather conditions.
As the robusta coffee area continues to slowly shrink, the
arabica coffee area is slowly expanding. However, arabica area
is only about 5-6 percent of the total coffee area. At present,
the arabica area is estimated to be about 25,000 hectares. The
key arabica growing provinces are Son La (3,000 hectares),
Thanh Hoa (4,000 hectares), Quang Tri (3,000 hectares), and
Nghe An (2,000 hectares). Son La province plans to
significantly expand its arabica area to 6,000-10,000 hectares
by 2010. Dak Lak's provincial agricultural department plans to
expand arabica area to 10,000 hectares over the next 3-5 years
from the current area of 4,000 hectares. Similarly, Lam Dong
and Kon Tum provinces also plan to replace low-productive
robusta with arabica.
United States
U.S. coffee stocks at the end of October totaled 5.98 million
bags, down 106,388 bags from the September 30, 2003, level.
Details follow in 60-kilogram bags."
