How we work

Why our reports are different

  • The book

    Real trades

    Every report reflects business our brokers actually executed. Not theoretical markets. Not indicative prices.

  • The phone

    Live market sentiment

    Every week we speak with buyers, producers, traders and manufacturers across Europe. Those conversations rarely appear in public statistics.

  • The last line

    A real opinion

    We do not publish every possible scenario. Every report ends with the direction we genuinely believe the market is heading.

  • The archive

    Complete transparency

    When our opinion changes, we explain why. We leave every report online. Including the ones where we were wrong. Trust comes from consistency, not hindsight.

    Our Long View Before Our Long Break

    Last week the market found a bit of stability. After lower trades on cheese, the cheese market traded slowly up, although a real rally remains absent. Butter prices did dip a bit further, although at the start of this week we see some strength on the back end of the curve. And on powder, our bullish feeling just doesn't go away — and now we can find some confirmation in the market as well.

    Dairy Carry Has a Shelf Life

    Last week was bearish across the board — every product we broker leaned the wrong way. Powders lost more momentum, cheese slipped well below €3,000 for some products, and butter continues to impress with just how much keeps showing up. Supply, supply, supply.

    Summer Shopping or Summer Sale?

    Last week was again a bit of a bearish week for the entire dairy industry. With cream prices under pressure and milk intake still strong, we keep seeing a market that has more supply than demand. Butter prices took another step lower, cheese prices cracked, and the powder market gave back a bit of its gains again.
