GLOBALDAIRYTRADE EVENT REFLECTS STABLE MARKET

03 Mar 2010
GLOBALDAIRYTRADE EVENT REFLECTS STABLE MARKET globalDairyTrade, Fonterra’s internet-based sales platform, concluded its March trading event this morning (NZT) with the average price for Whole Milk Powder up 0.8%, or US$25 per tonne, from the February event.



The trading manager, CRA International, advised Fonterra that the average price achieved across all contracts and contract periods for Whole Milk Powder (WMP) was US$3,281 per tonne FAS. Prices ranged from US$3,180 per tonne FAS to US$3,395 per tonne FAS.



Paul Grave, globalDairyTrade Manager, said this was a pleasing result that reflected a relatively stable market over the last four weeks.



“There is still an element of uncertainty as to how supply and demand factors will influence prices over the coming months,” Mr Grave said. “Buyers are focused on ensuring their short to medium term supply requirements have been secured.”



For Anhydrous Milk Fat (AMF), the average price achieved across all contracts and contract periods was US$3,959 per tonne FAS. This was US$224 per tonne, or 5.4%, lower than the February event.



The event included sales of Skim Milk Powder (SMP) for the first time. For SMP, the average price achieved across all contracts and contract periods was US$2,927 per tonne.



The next globalDairyTrade trading event will be held on April 6, 2010. See www.globalDairyTrade.info for more details.
