Butter/Butteroil - Europe

Released on July 16, 2026

Butter prices moved higher at both ends of the range this week as stronger 
buyer interest and gradually tightening cream availability supported values. 
Extended periods of hot weather continued to challenge milk production across 
parts of Europe, reducing cream supplies in some regions and lending additional 
support to the market. Buyers showed a greater willingness to secure coverage, 
and trading activity increased as prices strengthened across the 
range.Butteroil prices declined at both ends of the range as comfortable 
product availability continued to outweigh buying interest. Although 
heat-related production concerns persisted in parts of Europe, available 
inventories remained sufficient to satisfy demand during the reporting period. 
Trading conditions stayed measured, with cautious purchasing patterns 
contributing to lower values across the range.
