Markets in general fell on concerns about a global recession. The dollar continued to advance with the index posting new fresh two-decade highs. The British pound plummeted to a 37-year low, and the euro to a 20-year low. In Latin America, the real dropped 2%, despite a central bank selling $2.0 billion in FX intervention. The Colombian peso fell near 1.0% as the economic outlook decrease, and investors look for a safe-haven dollar. Arabica prices underwent volatile sessions this week.

Robusta NOV22 contract settled at $2232 -6 with a 2239/2211 range. Extremely quiet day with a tight range. Much like yesterday we found technical support on the 40-day moving average and resistance at the middle Bollinger band at 2239. Volume was poor with 4.7k lots on NOV22 trading and 1.6k NOV22/JAN23 going through between 11/14. The most excitement from the day was the NOV22 2250/2150 strangle LU traded 750x @ 75. Little commercial activity across the broader commodities basket the whales are getting nervous  with US inflation expectations breaking the lowest level in 12 months.
