$10.25/kgMS milk price now in play
A significant rise in Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction last week has prompted one bank to lift its forecast milk price for the season to above Fonterra's mid-point.
Last night’s auction saw the GDT price index up 1.8% compared to the previous auction.
The whole milk powder price, which generally sets Fonterra’s milk payout to farmers, rose 1.8% to US$3,037/metric tonne.
