TREE NEWS reports: Fonterra reported that the Global Dairy Trade auction price index fell 1.1% at the September 15 event, with the average FAS auction price for milk powder across contract periods at $3,868 per tonne. The wholesale milk powder price index slipped 0.8% to $3,563 per tonne.
Fonterra: GDT auction price index falls 1.1% on Sept 15
A modest decline in the GDT index matters less for the headline number than for what it says about demand at the margin, with the milk powder index softening alongside the broader basket. For dairy-linked RWA and commodity exposure, the read-through is that near-term pricing pressure is broad rather than concentrated in one product line. Whether the next auction extends this softening or stabilizes is the open question.
