GDT Review: First Rally in 10 Auctions as Powders Start 2026 Strong - January 6, 2026

The Global Dairy Trade auction kicked off 2026 with a long-awaited rebound, posting a 6.3% aggregate gain from the last event — the first higher auction in ten events. In this episode, Cody Koster and John Spainhour break down where the strength showed up.Whole milk powder stole the show with a 7.8% surge, snapping a multi-month slide, while skim milk powder climbed 5.5%, keeping U.S. nonfat prices at a global premium. Butter and AMF also rebounded after four consecutive declines, helping lift overall sentiment.The discussion dives into global price relationships, futures expectations versus reality, and why renewed buying interest — potentially from China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East — may be emerging as GDT offer volumes begin to ease. Is this a turning point, or simply a bounce in a pattern of prolonged weakness?Tune in for a clear, data-driven breakdown of what changed — and what to watch heading into the next auction._Disclaimer: TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS ON FUTURES INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK OF LOSS AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR EVERYONE.
