Building the Foundation for More Relevant Indexes in Dairy Trade

The dairy industry is poised for a transformation, driven by the dynamic trading environment on Nui Platforms. This platform's growth is facilitating the development of real-time, product-specific indexes which are crucial for enhancing market clarity and consistency. Despite the existence of various indexes, many suffer from delays in reflecting market changes or lack broad acceptance. Furthermore, numerous dairy markets, especially for ingredients, either lack indexes or suffer from price.

The Importance of Indexes

Indexes are pivotal in providing a clear and flexible reference for market prices, which in turn:

• Enhance Risk Management: Allowing participants to hedge against price volatility.
• Improve Market Exposure Management: tools to navigate market fluctuations.
• Enable Informed Decisions: Equipping stakeholders with precise data for strategic choices.

By conducting regular sales and procurement tenders on Nui Markets, buyers and sellers can contribute to the foundation of these indexes, fostering a disciplined and accurate index creation.

Industry Collaboration and Innovation

Nui Markets unique index-linked trading technology has paved the way for a new digital trading platform, facilitating the buying and selling of NFDM in one place for Mexican dairy customers. In partnership with StoneX and Interfood, the "Interfood Exchange" platform combines data from Nui Markets with global market intelligence, enabling better risk management capabilities and stronger market insights.

The verification and validation of trade data by StoneX ensures the accuracy of this new NFDM index, crucial for informed decision-making. As the demand for digital indexes grows, partnerships like this harness the necessary data for a more resilient agricultural trading sector adaptable to supply chain fluctuations and price volatility.

• Enhanced Risk Management: Through better data integration and analysis.
• Deeper Market Insights: Providing a clearer picture of market trends.
• Accurate Data: Ensuring the index's reliability through Nui Markets verification.

Hershey's recent commitment (just announced today) to bi-monthly Lactose tenders starting September 10th, held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month for the year, exemplifies this trend. These tenders will generate data for a new Lactose index, aiding risk management and strategic purchasing.

Looking Forward

As the demand for digital indexes increases, such collaborations are crucial for creating a resilient agricultural trading sector capable of adapting to supply chain disruptions and price swings.

The future of dairy trading is bright By adopting innovative technologies and fostering partnerships, we're building a more transparent, efficient market, enabling better risk management and decision-making.
