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
