Economic weather report: Butter prices surge with other dairy commodities
Bernard Hickey delivers an economic weather report in association with ASB showing that butter and other dairy commodity prices have surged in recent months, even in New Zealand dollar terms despite the rising exchange rate. This presents some good news for the Fonterra payout and the rural economy. Watch the video on Youtube here. It is also available on our video page here. See our dairy commodity price charts here.

The timing is about right
The timing is about right to encourage significant increases in southern hemisphere milk production by this time next season - to meet the apparent surge in world demand.
@PeterR, yet the USA is
@PeterR, yet the USA is saying it has too much milk...and American farmers need bailing out, so that has to be dumped somewhere...while NZ's butter is good quality and it seems pretty cheap, I think one has to watch for Americans "fixing" things...if they subsidise and then dump it cheap on world markets that would I assume hammer Fonterra's price...
So much for rational markets...how can companies plan for possible situations like this? If Fontera pushes up production and the US dumps then they get critisised for a collapsed price....if they dont expand and there is a shortage of supply they will be labled fools for missing such an oportunity....
