Starbucks shares are disturbed by a tariff in Trump while the rest of the market rises
- S&P 500 Futures stand up this morning, but Starbuck This is partly due to a 50 % tariff of the United States on Brazilian coffee. Analysts estimate an increase in the annual cost by 3.5 % for the company, which reduces profits. While coffee prices rise in the United States, the impact on Brazil is small and the decline in global coffee prices, which will benefit from other markets.
S&P 500 Futures increased by 0.23 % this morning, after the index closed by 0.49 % yesterday. The blue chip rating has gained 7 % so far and remains near its highest level ever, but there is one major name that does not benefit from the situation on the risks in Wall Street now: Starbucks.

The rest of the world is likely to benefit. There are a lot of markets for coffee. If the demand decreases in the United States, it is likely that the additional offer to foreign customers will disturb the growth of prices.
This really happens. Global Arabic Coffee futures decreased by 30 % this year and is currently sitting by about $ 2.96 per ton. In short, coffee in America gets More expensive But for everyone, it happens Cheaper.
