GlobalDairyTrade auction results

For tonight …

Westpac:

  • priced by futures to result in another gain in whole milk powder prices

ASB looking for higher WMP also:

  • Two weeks ago whole milk powder (WMP) prices jumped by over 8%, and a similar result appears likely this auction
  • At the current juncture, futures pricing suggests WMP prices will rise by over 6%. We take this indicator at face value, particularly as key Chinese buyers return to the market after their New Year holidays.
