What the full Coffee Intelligence desk adds

This page is arithmetic on the numbers you type in — it carries no market data of its own. The subscriber desk is where the sourced data lives: ICO daily indicator trends, World Bank reference series, CFTC positioning, Korean import lines, origin FX, and coffee coverage from the newsroom, each shown with its source, unit, and as-of date.
