FRANKFURT/BRUSSELS. The EU notes continued large disruptions for the butter market and for other dairy products as recessions will hit, tensions are escalating over Brexit and the possibility of Donald Trump being re-elected as US president give rise to concerns.

Trading is largely subdued in Germany’s bulk butter market with prices hovering around EUR 3.50/kg EXW at the Butter and Cheese Exchange in Kempten.
