What the GDD Provides

The Global Directions platform is a comprehensive platform of analysis of global dairy markets, with a primary focus on looking forward – not at what just happened.  The outputs from the platform include:

  • Projected commodity values based on established market fundamentals – providing information on commodity groups in Oceania, EU and US regions;
  • A measure of relative market tension over time – which has been shown to be a reliable forward indicator of spot prices ;
  • An assessment of “hot items” and their effect that are anticipated to significantly impact market balance;
  • The sensitivity of “what-if” changes in the outlook – volume and value – due to variation in supply and demand factors;
  • Development of forward scenarios that combine a number of changing variables; and
  • Insights and trends in historical dairy trade across commodities and market regions
