Butter/Butteroil - Europe

Released on May 07, 2026

Butter prices moved lower at both ends of the range this week as elevated 
inventories and heavy milk volumes continued to pressure values. Strong spring 
flush conditions have kept cream availability ample, contributing to softer 
butter market conditions across the region. Buyers remained cautious, with 
purchasing activity focused on short-term requirements and steady trade flows. 
Butteroil prices held at the bottom of the range while the top edged lower this 
week. Ample availability and measured demand limited upward movement. Market 
tone remains soft, with butter facing continued pressure while butteroil shows 
mixed pricing signals.
