Market now will be consolidating between 180 and 195 looking for direction. A break above will take us to 206-207, a break below down to 170.Yesterday 10k bags showed up in pending grading split between Antwerp and Hamburg. Will watch if more coffee continues to come in could take some air out of the spreads which have stalled recently.
