Dairy product prices have risen for the second GlobalDairyTrade (GDT) auction in a row, led by butter and whole milk powder, while volumes continued to retreat.
 
The GDT Price Index increased 0.5 per cent from the last sale two weeks ago.
 
The average winning price was $US5,042 ($A5,778) a tonne from $US5,025 per tonne at the last auction. Some 35,399 tonnes of product was sold, the lowest since June last year and down from 41,024 tonnes in the previous sale.
 
Butter rose 2.6 per cent to $US4,745 a tonne to the highest in at least a year, having jumped almost 11 per cent in the last auction.
 
Whole milk powder, the biggest product sold by volume, rose 1.4 per cent to $US5,005 a tonne.
 
The auction results come after the ANZ Commodity Price Index rose 1.2 per cent to a record in January, with butter leading the gains, up four per cent from December and up 33 per cent from the same month last year.
 
Among other products at the GDT auction, cheddar fell 4.3 per cent and milk protein concentrate fell 3.3 per cent.
 
Rennet casein, butter milk powder and anhydrous milk fat all fell while skim milk powder was unchanged.
