New York.    
A complete lack of any fresh fundamental news or change in the outlook for the supply/demand balance this week
has meant that outside influences have dominated trading in both coffee markets.  As expected coffee prices 
bounced early on in the week partly in response to a weaker dollar but also because may analysts felt that both
markets had hit strong resistance level.  However by Wednesday sentiment in the currency markets changed and  
the value of the dollar began to rise again, prompting speculators to sell all commodities quite heavily.  Coffee prices  
went into reverse and by Friday had not only lost all that they had gained but also hit new lows.  Arabica coffee  
prices lost 2.9 cents/lb while robusta lost $41/ton (1.8cents/lb).
