In a note shared Wednesday, Bank of America analyst Sara Senatore said, &#8220;Coffee remains inflationary. For Q1 2025, average coffee price inflation is expected to be 75.5%.&#8221; 
She added that prices have surged 120% from 2023 lows, increasing investor concerns about Starbucks Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NYSE">SBUX</a>)&#8217; margins and pressuring the company's valuation multiple.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What&#8217;s Triggering The Coffee Price Spike? </h3>
The coffee market has seen supply risks materializing on its world&#8217;s top producer. 
Brazil's coffee production forecast have been downwardly revised in recent months amid weather disruptions hitting South America&#8217;s largest country. 
On Monday, Conab, Brazil's national supply agency, estimated the country's 2024 coffee harvest at 54.2 million 60kg bags, a 1.6% decline from the prior year's crop. 
The revision follows adverse weather in Minas Gerais, a key Arabica-producing region, that has constrained supply. Meanwhile, strong demand for Robusta beans, often used in instant coffee, has compounded price pressures.
In Australia, Restaurant and Cafe Association chief executive Wes Lambert said the cost of a coffee &#8220;could reach double digits&#8221; in major cities if bean prices remain elevated.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Starbucks' Hedging Strategy: A Safety Net?</h3>
Despite soaring coffee prices, Starbucks may be shielded from immediate cost increases. The Seattle-based company has long-term purchasing strategies as indicated by Bank of America.
As the world&#8217;s largest coffeehouse, Starbucks secures supply agreements more than a year in advance. The chain has a mix of fixed-price and price-to-be-fixed contracts.
Fixed-price contracts lock in costs upfront, while price-to-be-fixed agreements allow pricing flexibility until delivery. 
Starbucks relies on futures contracts and collars, which are derivative instruments that help stabilize price fluctuations, to hedge against volatile coffee costs. 
While Starbucks&#8217; hedging policies provide insulation, the company still supplements its inventory with purchase commitments, some of which remain exposed to the unpredictable swings in commodity prices. 
The question is whether sustained high prices could eventually seep into its cost structure.
Yet, Bank of America remains optimistic about Starbucks&#8217; outlook. &#8220;We believe SBUX&#8217;s brand remains fundamentally strong and there are significant opportunities to reallocate resources,&#8221; Senatore wrote in the note, maintaining a Buy rating with a $117 price target.

When a mother in New York City realized her son's iPhone was missing, she did what many parents would do – she immediately opened Apple's Find My app to track the device. What she discovered was both frustrating and fascinating, as the stolen iPhone went on an international adventure highlighting just how organized the black market for stolen electronics has become.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From NYC to Shenzhen</h2>
The phone's journey began on Oct. 30 in NYC when it was snatched. First, it appeared in an apartment complex in the Bronx, then sat in a Long Island warehouse for a few days. Months later, it resurfaced nearly 8,000 miles away in Shenzhen, China, a well-known city hub for electronics manufacturing and repair.
By this point, the device was locked and useless to whoever had it, thanks to Apple's Activation Lock – a feature designed to prevent thieves from resetting and reselling stolen phones. Despite this, the phone's destination made sense. Shenzhen is home to Huaqiangbei, a sprawling electronics market where stolen phones are dismantled for parts or reassembled into &#8220;new&#8221; devices.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Scale of the Problem</h2>
Smartphone theft is a widespread issue in the United States. Allstate estimates that 5% or an estimated 14.7 million phones were stolen in 2023 alone. Since iPhones make up about 50% of the smartphone market in the U.S., this translates to approximately 7.35 million stolen iPhones in a year. The financial damage is immense, not just in the cost of the devices but also in the security risks posed by potential data breaches.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Frustrated Her Most</h2>
Oddly enough, losing the iPhone wasn't the most infuriating part of the ordeal. What truly <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/iphone/comments/1hzs1mn/sons_stolen_iphone_goes_on_a_journey_from_nyc_to/">upset</a> the mother was the lack of interest from local authorities. She filed a police report with the NYPD immediately after the theft, but the response was underwhelming. Even when the phone's location was trackable in NYC, nothing was done to investigate.
"I'm not that mad about losing this one phone," she shared, "but I wish the NYPD had looked into the Long Island warehouse before it left NY. I bet there are a ton of other phones going through this same path." Her frustration resonated with others online, as many shared similar stories of police apathy toward stolen phones.
As one person said, &#8220;And I thought only in India police are not interested in stolen phone cases. Well, this has been the same for the entire world. Looks like a nexus to bring the phone to China where tracking is difficult because of the poor treaty.&#8221;
Another tried explaining things further: &#8220;People don't understand that filing a police report is literally just a report. It's not a request for the police to look into it or a declaration by the police that they will look into it.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How the Black Market Thrives</h2>
Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei district has become a hotbed for dismantling stolen devices. While Apple's Activation Lock, part of its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36385255/how-to-turn-on-apples-stolen-device-protection-on-your-shiny-new-iphone">Stolen Device Protection</a> measures, makes it nearly impossible to reuse an iPhone, individual components like screens, batteries and chips can still be salvaged and sold.
In some cases, thieves even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36740248/hackers-steal-580-000-with-fake-airdrop-links-in-phishing-mail-scam">scam</a> the original owners into removing the Activation Lock by sending fake messages claiming to be from Apple. Or, as someone said, &#8220;He'll start getting messages from someone claiming that they bought it and need him to remove the activation lock. Don't do it. Block and ignore. Eventually, they'll start threatening him. Again, ignore. They can't do anything.&#8221;
Organized networks route phones from theft hotspots like NYC to international markets, with Shenzhen being one of the biggest destinations.
These operations are so well-oiled that stolen phones are often shipped in bulk, passing through intermediaries.&nbsp;

Trader Notes: Bitcoin investor Fred Krueger has mixed feelings about the plans, calling a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve inevitable but unlikely to reach meaningful levels under the Trump administration, which he views as only partially embracing Bitcoin.
Krueger <a href="https://x.com/dotkrueger/status/1881719585386197338">highlighted</a> World Liberty Financials' $47 million Bitcoin purchase as a key milestone, emphasizing that Bitcoin's rise to $1 million remains unstoppable regardless of government involvement. 
"External factors won't derail Bitcoin's trajectory," he <a href="https://x.com/dotkrueger/status/1882016783726789027">stated</a>, expressing optimism for a bullish market in 2025.
Community News: At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said Trump is eager to lead the charge on Bitcoin adoption, aiming to become the first "Bitcoin President."
Armstrong also acknowledged Senator Cynthia Lummis's (R-Wyo.) legislative efforts to establish a reserve.
Armstrong <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43105840/coinbase-ceo-brian-armstrong-says-bitcoins-future-is-bright-the-dawn-of-a-new-day-for-crypto">stressed</a> the importance of governments holding Bitcoin alongside gold and other reserves, stating, "Any government holding gold should also hold Bitcoin." He argued that the global shift toward a Bitcoin standard is well underway.
Currently, 12 U.S. states are actively supporting Bitcoin reserve legislation. 
Marathon Digital's CEO is <a href="https://x.com/BTC_Archive/status/1882061965205680235">reportedly</a> working to expand these efforts to all 50 states.
