- EU product prices have improved in recent weeks, especially for SMP and butter. This supports the commodity value and improves industrial utilization.
- The Kiel commodity price rose significantly in February. This is not yet a trend reversal, but an initial sign that the utilization corridor will not collapse further after the winter.
- The futures market is more robust than the physical spot market. A liquid milk settlement of EUR 43.45/100 kg is well above the current German spot milk prices and argues against the expectation of a further abrupt fall in prices on the exchange.
- Milk deliveries in Germany remain exceptionally high. The year-on-year increase of 6.1% in week 8 is the strongest bearish argument for the domestic market.
- The EU volume trend is also expansive. The +4.5% increase in EU deliveries in January means that product prices are recovering in the face of growing supply.
- The German spot market remains extremely weak. Quotations of 14 to 15 ct/kg are not compatible with an already healthy commodity market.
- Producer prices are falling even faster than the product markets are recovering. The German average price for January has fallen significantly once again.
