New Coffee Trading Academy Warns of Possibility of $2 Coffee and Higher

A month ago, Coffee trader Ryan Delany launched Coffee Trading Academy, a coffee market research and training firm that intends to democratize trading in the coffee market through its accessibility and independence from big finance.

“Most of the research and training that is available for the coffee market is either thinly disguised marketing material, or it’s so academic that it’s not practical,” Ryan said. “We intend to provide rapidly digestible information and elite quality training that is independent from banks, brokers and the trade. This independence is essential,” Ryan said, “because it aligns our incentives with our clients.”

“We add value on two fronts: we provide clear and concise market information for people who make their livelihoods from coffee, and we teach people how to prepare and protect their business against price risk.”

The Academy does anticipate increasing volatility in coffee prices this year, making their services more relevant than ever. “It’s widely accepted that the coming 21/22 crop in Brazil experienced irreversible damage during the flowering period. What is less clear is to what extent inflation and the macro picture will affect prices. Coffee has rallied 30 cents in six weeks on inflation alone, and this is before any tightness in nearby coffee supply. If we get a commodity super-cycle on top of a shortage of Brazil coffee…this market will get ugly.”

Ryan Delany first learned risk management as a designated marksman in a US Marine Corps Anti-Terrorism unit in the early days of the Global War on Terror in 2002. Although his Coffee Trading Academy is a new venture, this Marine and Harvard grad first turned his warrior-scholar mindset to the coffee markets more than a decade ago.

His financial background and thirst for adventure led him to become a respected, multinational trader working in India, Uganda and New York City. In addition to trading physical coffee, Ryan worked several years doing analysis and trading for former hedge fund Ballymena which rose to prominence investing on a large Brazil centered bear market in the 2010s.

Currently, Coffee Trading Academy offer a number of different professional coffee market report subscriptions based on client needs and price; along with its Coffee Trader’s Course, an energetic and comprehensive five day online course that teaches the core concepts of trading coffee and managing market risk from coffee biology to complex financial derivatives.
