DCA benchmarks: Powder commentary week 10

DCA Market Intelligence observed increases across most dairy powder benchmarks in week 10 (March 5). Within milk powders, SMP recorded stronger gains, while WMP growth was more modest. The largest percentage increases were observed in the whey segment, while lactose was the only benchmark to register a weekly decline. Although increased export activity was reported earlier in the week, this shifted later, potentially linked to the war in Iran.
