MD_DA650 Nonfat Dry Milk - Eastern and Central U.S. Report 25 - Released on June 18, 2020 CENTRAL: Low/medium heat nonfat dry milk (NDM) prices shifted lower on the bottoms of the range and mostly series. The slips in prices resulted from mixed trading. Some buyers, particularly those buying in larger volumes, are still finding deals. Others say with cheese producers fortifying, NDM spot loads are harder to find and particularly hard to find under $1. Trading in most dairy powders was a bit more active this week, regionally. Low/medium heat drying is somewhat active, but condensed skim availability has been limited. All that said, high heat trading was quieter this week, as prices remained steady. Overall, NDM markets are mixed. Some contacts expect a bullish market to emerge as early as next week.
