Butter - East U.S.

Released on July 16, 2025

CME prices for butter dropped some at the beginning of the week, closing $0.05 
below last week's average. Despite this, butter sales activity appears to be 
stable. Contacts indicate contract loads are sufficient to cover butter 
production. Spot loads of cream for butter production are lackluster. Churns 
are not currently at full capacity, indicating cream use in other commodities 
is growing. Domestic butter sales are holding steady. International sales are 
strong as US butter prices remain competitive on the international market. 
Inventories are stable for both bulk and consumer size packaging.
