Analysis Cheese
Have cheese prices bottomed out?
The declining butter market has been having a negative impact on cheese prices for a few weeks now. This sentiment may now end as butter prices appear to have bottomed out at $3.600 per tonne. This means that cheese prices are also seeking a bottom, although demand is still weak.
De high temperatures in various parts of Europe are causing a dip in milk production. This could also give the cheese market a positive incentive, but for the time being these signals are not visible.
