Constrained global supply keeps farmgate and export milk prices elevated, while Australia's modest production gain limits how much that tightness can ease.
After 237 past bullish report events, Milk (Class III) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.6%), and +1.2% over 20.
