ASX Sharemarket News

In ASX sharemarket news, dairy business Synlait Milk Ltd (ASX: SM1) has announced an opening forecast base milk price for the upcoming 2020 season is $7 kgMS.

The 2019 season forecast base milk price has increased from $6.25 kgMS to $6.40 kgMS. The final price will be confirmed with the annual result announced in early September 2019.

Synlait CEO Leon Clement said: “The increase to $6.40 kgMS for this season is due to recovering dairy commodity prices since our last update in January 2019. We’ve seen steady improvements in prices since the start of December, recovering a lot of the ground lost earlier in the season. We think it’s realistic in the light of the current slowdown in world supply and strong demand from our key markets.”
