A bi-weekly dairy market report notes that US spot cheese traded in a narrow $1.28 to $1.67 per pound range through the first nine months of 2026, the least volatility in two decades. In the last month, CME spot cheese blocks fell to $1.27 per pound on the final day of September, the lowest since May 2020.
Sharply lower spot cheese prices weigh on US milk class prices and dairy-based feed ingredient values, signalling softer demand for dairy byproducts such as whey.
