Little change in dairy prices

Written by 

The latest GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) auction has resulted in little change in the price index.

Compared to the last auction, the price index rose 0.3%.

However, the flagship whole milk powder prices dropped 1.6% despite futures pricing a 3% rise.

Westpac senior market strategist Imre Speizer says fats outperformed but powders disappointed.

“The GDT dairy auction resulted in prices overall little changed – the index up 0.3%; WMP down 1.6% (compared to futures pricing a 3% rise),” he says.

Butter was up 3.8% to US$5954/MT; WMP US$3100/MT.
