The Global Dairy Trade index fell 0.5 percent at Tuesday's auction, its first overall decline since September, with anhydrous milk fat and butter down while whole milk powder and skim milk powder were mixed to higher. CME Class III milk futures also slipped, with December at $19.34 per cwt.
Weaker fat prices at the GDT auction and softer Class III futures point to somewhat lower dairy ingredient values for feed buyers, though the decline was small.
