Cocoa and coffee are set to end 2024 as the top-gaining commodities for the second year in a row, taking advantage of a global supply deficit, while steelmaking coal will be the worst performer, hurt by China’s slow growth. Looking ahead, global trade tensions are likely to dominate the commodities landscape in 2025, with Donald Trump’s return to the White House threatening hefty tariffs, analysts said. A strong dollar and gold’s appeal as a safe haven for investors are likely to support precious metals prices, while ample supply could depress oil for a third straight year, they added. The bad news for chocolate lovers is that cocoa has nearly tripled in price over the course of 2024, far outpacing gains in other commodities. The contract hit a record high of $12,931 per metric ton in New York earlier this month on forecasts of a fourth consecutive supply crunch.

Domestic coffee prices today edged up slightly to 120,600 - 121,400 VND/kg. The New York and London markets will be closed for a holiday on December 25. The New York exchange will then trade alone on December 26, while the London exchange will resume trading on December 27.

The stock market prices for the most popular coffee variety - "Arabica" - have reached a historic high, and consumers will feel the increase in price in early 2025. The reason is mainly due to climatic anomalies in Brazil - drought, and then torrential rains, reports the BBC. In just one year, "Arabica" coffee has increased in price by 80%. The previous record for the price of the "Arabica" variety was set in 1977. Another popular variety - "Robusta" - broke its all-time record in September. Coffee lovers will feel this only after the New Year. It is not only Arabica coffee producers in Brazil who have experienced extreme weather changes. Vietnam, the largest supplier of "Robusta" coffee, has also experienced drought and torrential rains this year. At the same time, demand for coffee is growing worldwide. Even in the homeland of tea - China, coffee is gaining popularity - in just ten years, from 2008 to 2018, the Chinese began to drink twice as much coffee.
