WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):   

	Whole milk powder prices strengthened, reaching 2017 highs. 
Current interest in dairy fats has helped strengthen WMP pricing. 
Market interest is limited but buyers who need to finalize purchases 
now are paying more. Expectations are that buyers seeking contracts 
for the final quarter of the year will end up paying higher prices. 
Export activity is quiet.
       The Dairy Market News international monthly average price in 
dollars/metric ton for European WMP prices in July, 2017, $3,554, 
compares with $2,435 one year earlier.
