Spread Between 90 Score Butter And Extras Widens On New York Market
The spread between 90 score butter quoted at 18 to 22 1/2 cents and extras at 24 cents a pound grows wider now about 3 1/2 cents in New York. The November option on the Chicago board holds around 23 cents, about 5 cents above the 90 score spot in New York. Butter futures are sustained by cooperative purchases, with price strength backed by storage and market demand, while egg and poultry sectors face higher storage and feed costs influencing futures and prices.
