It will show that after a period of being a directionless, low volatility market we are now entering into a period where volatility is likely to be more fundamentally driven. In this type of environment being nimble and having access to capital will be unique and combination that should see a sustained period of outperformance vs piers and other soft commodity opportunities. Coffee Market A brief history of the last 5 years After setting very high prices in 2014 and 2015 both in USD and domestic terms, coffee has been an oversupplied market with large visible stocks at destination. During 2016 and 2017 a large oversupply coupled with: a) Departure of a large pool of discretionary managed capital at funds and trade houses b) Large increase is risk premia strategies across the agricultural commodity complex that especially hit large carry markets like Arabica and Wheat This has left very few participants with robust fundamental analysis, capital to allocate and small overheads Past results are not indicative of future results / Proprietary and confidential information.

Not for duplication or 5 distribution Certified Stocks are Changing Hands Fundamentals start to impact the Arabica Market We are now seeing the movement from and to the exchanged certified stocks In late 2019 this was because the terminal market was your cheapest source of coffee.
