MD_DA751 DA MD DA751 Casein - National MADISON, WI. August 04, 2016 (REPORT 31) CASEIN - NATIONAL Rennet and acid casein prices firmed at the bottom of the price range and rennet also firmed at the top. At GDT Event 169 on August 2, rennet casein prices moved more sharply higher on the all contract series than any product traded. Renewed buyer interest is a factor in pricing changes. With milk production at a seasonally lower point in Oceania casein production areas, generating higher output at this time is a challenge. SPOT SALES AND UP TO 3 MONTH CONTRACTS. PRICES ARE F.O.B., U.S. WAREHOUSE FOR EDIBLE NONRESTRICTED AND VARY ACCORDING TO MESH SIZE AND QUALITY. RENNET: 2.8000 - 2.9500 ACID: 2.8500 - 2.9500 1100CT eric.graf@ams.usda.gov (608) 557-7010 USDA/AMS/Dairy Market News, Madison, Wisconsin Dairy Market News website: http://www.ams.usda.gov/market-news/dairy Dairy Market News database portal: http://www.marketnews.usda.gov/mnp/da-home
