A global dairy update reports that supply fundamentals changed little since June while commodity prices eased across the board. Grain and oilseed prices fell sharply due to investment fund selling rather than changes in crop conditions, amid rising recession fears and softer consumer demand.
Fund-driven selling in grains and oilseeds, along with weaker dairy demand, points to lower feed ingredient and dairy prices, although underlying supply conditions have not changed.
