  3. Ag Smarter - GDT Review: GDT Rebounds 1.5%: Mozzarella Strength Opens Export Window Slightly

    MAY 5

    Ag Smarter - GDT Review: GDT Rebounds 1.5%: Mozzarella Strength Opens Export Window Slightly

    In this week’s Global Dairy Trade update, prices edged higher by 1.5% overall, with gains in skim milk powder (+2.9%), whole milk powder (+2.0%), and mozzarella (+4.2%) helping offset declines in cheddar (-3.9%) and butter (-3.1%). Jon Spainhour breaks down why rising European mozzarella prices could begin reopening the door for US cheese exports, though not quite enough yet to drive large-scale movement. On the powder side, international buyers continue favoring discounted product from Europe and New Zealand over higher-priced US supply, particularly in key regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia. With seasonal supply volumes at their lowest and China largely absent from the market, even modest buying activity is having an outsized impact on price direction. The result: a market showing early signs of strength, but still searching for conviction.

    Ag Smarter - The Dairy Feed: Tighter Supply, Global Pressure: Dairy Markets at a Crossroads

    In this week’s Ag Smarter: The Dairy Feed, Kathleen Wolfley breaks down a nonfat dry milk market driven by tight US supply and steady domestic demand, keeping prices near recent highs. But beneath the surface, growing global milk production and competitive international pricing are beginning to pressure the outlook. Butter inventory growth surprised to the upside, cheese markets remain balanced, and export competitiveness hangs in the balance as global dynamics evolve. Plus, Words from Wichita returns with an update on drought-driven feed volatility and rising forage costs. Disclaimer: Futures trading involves risk and is not suitable for all investors.

    Ag Smarter - GDT Review: GDT Falls Again: Fat Markets Slide as Powder’s Wide Gap Remains

    Global Dairy Trade prices dropped 2.7% in the latest auction, marking a second consecutive decline. While cheese held relatively steady and skim milk powder posted modest gains, sharp losses in butter and AMF weighed heavily on the market. A major story continues to unfold in powder markets. US nonfat dry milk remains significantly elevated compared to global prices, raising questions about when and how convergence will occur. Meanwhile, shifting regional demand, low auction volumes, and rising global milk supply—especially out of Europe and New Zealand—are shaping near-term price direction. Cody Koster and John Spainhour break down the latest GDT results, regional buying trends, and what to watch as global dairy markets search for balance. _ Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.
