Ever.Ag broker Kathleen Wolfley says Class III milk is driven by dry whey, with a one-cent whey move worth about six cents on Class III. She notes steady whey prices, soft US cheese demand, and subdued Chinese and European milk supply.
Dry whey is the main swing factor for Class III, so firmer high-protein whey demand could lift milk prices while weak cheese demand limits upside.
