Arabica coffee futures finished in the red Friday amid benign Brazilian crop weather, though buoyant robusta values in London helped to limit the selling here before the three-day weekend, traders said.
The New York Board of Trade's arabica coffee contract for December delivery dipped 0.40 cent to settle at $1.0760 a lb after trading from $1.0660 to $1.0845. March delivery eased 0.45 cent to end at $1.1140 a lb and back months declined 0.30 to 0.75 cents.
