   At the start of the year, all eyes were on the Federal Reserve, with markets
   bracing for a series of interest rates cuts to mitigate the damage of
   elevated financing costs on consumers. However, this sentiment changed
   drastically as US economy demonstrated robust performance. Coupled with
   rising geopolitical tensions and the impending election season, concerns
   about persistent inflation grew across major economies. Despite Europe’s
   relative economic weakness, the number of anticipated cuts has more than
   halved since January. While these factors were expected to negatively impact
   the metals market, which had been stagnant for the last couple of quarters, a
   renewed speculative appetite led prices to breach multi-month highs. As we
   progress through Q2 2024, economic factors will remain in the spotlight, yet
   we will pay close attention to the base metals complex to evaluate the
   performance of metals independently of macro.

Global Shipping Analysis - Rock the Boat

Read our short coffee crop update, with commentary on recent price activity, and
coffee market forecasts to take advantage of market movements. The coffee
industry witnessed turbulent prices last year, affecting both Arabica and
Robusta contracts. The industry remains reliant on Brazil and Vietnam,
accounting for 58% of the total blend. Although the weather is still a concern,
we believe that most of the damage has been done, and the expectations of a
super crop are likely to fade. In our view, there is no shortage of coffee
overall, but there are gaps in certain regions creating uncertainty regarding
coffee accessibility.
