GDT Auction: Fats See the Largest Price Increases
The price index following the GDT auction results has increased for the first time since August 2025. Market participants suggest that the price growth across nearly all commodities indicates a recovery in demand for dairy products on the global market. A slowdown in the rate of price decline for butter and milk powder was observed at the end of December 2025. It is likely that the price index turned positive against the backdrop of a decrease in the volume of goods sold at the auction and an increase in the number of participants. Prices presumably rose during the preparation period for Ramadan in Muslim countries and the final stage of preparations in the PRC for the Chinese New Year celebrations. The GDT price index grew following China's introduction of new tariffs on imports of cheese, milk, and other dairy products from the EU in response to European tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, reports Georghii Kukhaleishvilii, analyst at the Association of Milk Producers.
