Evening Coffee by Societe Generale

After opening as much as a cent lower, New York coffee rallied at the start of active trading on a newswire article calling for frost in certain Brazilian coffee areas over the weekend. Other weather services rejected that prognosis and we sold back off, trading to within a cent of the early low after the original report was corrected, calling for cold but not frost.
