Summary Box: Coffee jumps on tighter supply

BUZZ AROUND BEANS: Coffee prices hit their highest level in two years before settling up 5.1 percent in Thursday’s trading. Analysts attribute the jump to temporary supply constraints.

MIXED ENERGY: Energy prices were mixed, with oil and gasoline settling slightly higher.
