The Global Dairy Trade price index remained unchanged after the second fortnightly June auction, underpinned by whole milk powder prices that were unmoved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the components of the GDT index, falls in skim milk powder and cheddar were balanced by a 5.5% increase for butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SMP was down 2.3%, cheddar down 3.3% and anhydrous milk fat up 0.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the GDT event, analysts had forecast that prices would fall and so the sideways movement collectively was a good result to help stabilise the farmgate milk price forecasts for farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NZX dairy analyst Alex Winning said the lack of supply\/demand fundamentals provided no momentum to the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrices seem to be bouncing around in a channel, and this auction provides more weight to that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SGX-NZX Dairy Derivatives market beforehand had indicated price reductions in every commodity except AMF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winning said the flat result was not unexpected by market participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Flat result was not unexpected by market.\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":29345,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[28,55,97],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
