(March 4, 2002) COFFEE: New York softs continue to look good for the future based on depressed prices and a potential supply/demand shift in favor of demand. Coffee has apparently halted its decline though there are still those who believe a break under 40 cents is needed as a selling climax. Hold the long July/short December coffee spread (from January 24 at 500 December). The spread has a modest cushion and could accelerate in late spring if any weather problems develop in the South American coffee growing areas. The objective remains at 250 December with a July premium possible should any serious weather problems develop.
