WHOLE MILK POWDER (WMP):  Oceania whole milk powder prices weakened at 
the top of the price range but firmed at the bottom. No driving demand is 
evident now, with China buyers quiet and Middle East and Africa buyers 
mostly supplied. A smaller specialty market has developed, selling small 
volumes of WMP at premium prices in sizes that can be carried onto 
flights. At the December 1 GDT event 153, the WMP pricing index, 
across all contracting periods, averaged $2,260 per MT, up 5.3% 
compared to the prior event.  For contract periods 2 and 3, February 
and March, NZ regular WMP averaged $2,160 and $2,250 per MT.

26% BUTTERFAT:                           2,100 - 2,400
