Global dairy prices slide 4.9% in biggest drop in two years as milk supply surges
Global dairy prices fell 4.9% in the largest weekly drop in two years as milk output surged across major producing regions (excluding China), lifting inventories and pressuring WMP, SMP, butter, anhydrous milk fat and cheddar. The move reflects a spot supply-demand shock that can weigh on broader agricultural commodity risk appetite, though early signals (European heat stress and El Niño) may later curb production growth.

Global dairy prices fell 4.9% over the week, marking the biggest decline in two years, as output in major milk-producing regions rose sharply year on year, excluding China. Prices broadly weakened across whole milk powder (WMP), skim milk powder (SMP), anhydrous milk fat, butter and cheddar, with cheddar down more than 12.3%. Buttermilk powder and mozzarella posted modest gains, but the overall picture pointed to clear oversupply pressure. The move is set to feed directly into dairy commodity pricing as a tradable spot supply-demand shock.
