Prices are moving upward

Manufacturers are comfortable with the current trading range

Despite the occasional rumor about prices above the current price range lactose remains mostly traded at USD 0.30-0.40/lb (660-882/t) ex works. Most manufacturers appear to be comfortable to sell at these prices.
