OK, I know all you ladies and gentlemen are very busy yo-yo-ing the S&P (and, I’ve seen what you’ve done to the poor old NASDAQ too), but if I can have the attention of New Zealand dollar traders for just a moment, please.

The overnight Global Dairy Trade auction:

  • Prices up 1.4% in US dollars
  • The result in NZD was lower though, cause the kiwi went up (price in NZD -0.4%)
  • This was the best price result (i.e. it went up!) for 17 auctions, since the January 21, 2014 auction (and the first price rise since June 17 2014 … see the graph, below)

Thank you for your attention.
