President Trump’s\u00a0threat to impose retaliatory\u00a025% tariffs on Colombia\u00a0briefly ignited fears of a further surge in already high coffee prices.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Why it matters:\u00a0Beans from Colombia make up 20% of\u00a0U.S. coffee imports, and the only source larger, Brazil, is\u00a0struggling with weak crops\u00a0after a series of weather disasters.<\/p>\n

Catch up quick:\u00a0On Sunday\u00a0Trump said\u00a0he would impose an emergency 25% tariff on all goods imported from Colombia \u2014 rising to 50% in one week \u2014 after the country refused to accept two deportation flights from the U.S.<\/p>\n

A few hours later, the White House\u00a0said it was pausing those tariffs\u00a0after Colombia agreed to Trump’s terms.<\/p>\n

Zoom out:\u00a0Coffee prices were already surging before the tariff threat.<\/p>\n

Coffee futures are up 45% in the last six months.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reported last week that wholesale prices recently\u00a0eclipsed all-time highs\u00a0set in the late 1970s, and that it was only a matter of days to a few weeks until retail prices followed suit.<\/p>\n

As it stands, consumer coffee prices are already at\u00a0multi-decade highs, per Consumer Price Index data.<\/p>\n

The intrigue:\u00a0Bird flu is causing\u00a0record price shocks\u00a0and shortages in eggs as well.<\/p>\n

American breakfasts risk getting a lot more expensive, even as Trump begins a new term with a\u00a0promise to lower grocery prices.<\/p>\n

Of note:\u00a0The White House statement indicated Trump was prepared to use the International Economic Emergency Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA), which\u00a0has not been used before\u00a0to levy tariffs.<\/p>\n
