Arabica coffee futures fell to an one-month low as rain was forecast in Brazil
New YORK / London (Reuters)-ICE Arabica coffee futures fell to an one-month low on Thursday on forecasts of more much-needed rainfall in Brazil, the largest producer, and weighed down by a stronger dollar and technical selling pressure.
Cocoa futures consolidated upward, while raw sugar futures held steady.

There will be widespread rain in Brazil's drought-affected coffee and sugar cane belt this weekend, easing the hot weather, according to Somar, a local weather forecaster.
