WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):  

Whole milk powder prices in Western Europe are steady. Many of the 
normal European sellers and buyers were mostly out of action over the 
holiday weeks. It was a very sleepy time with dormant interest on 
either side. On the export side, recent buying interest from countries 
in Africa and the Middle East has been mostly satisfied. With prices 
at a high level compared with most weeks of 2016, buyers are hesitant 
to bid higher, but sellers are in no hurry to offer price concessions.                                    
                                                                 
26% BUTTERFAT:                           3,200 - 3,375
