What could change it?

Butter usually reacts with a lag to feed, pasture, energy and local inflation because contracts and processing buffer short-term shocks.

Scores can reverse when commodity momentum, local weather, crop conditions, currency, logistics or inflation signals change. The model estimates directional pressure rather than an exact shelf price.
