Global dairy prices have risen in the latest Global Dairy Trade (GDT) auction overnight.

The flagship whole milk powder price index was up 2.9%, to US$2760/tonne.

The GDT price index rose 1.4% at the latest auction, following a 3% cent dip in the previous auction- which ended a run of price increases. WMP prices had dipped 3.8% in the previous auction.

The latest price rise could be attributed to supply concerns out of New Zealand; prolonged wet weather in the North Island is affecting milk production.
