Bakery market analysis
Bakery costs are never about one line. Flour rose into spring 2026 then gave most of it back as wheat supply improved, butter fell to a five-year stock high, and eggs swung from firm to falling. This report brings every bakery input into one view for H1 2026, with the Vesper outlook into 2027.
The wider bakery basket
A bakery recipe pulls from grains, dairy, oils, sweeteners, eggs, and nuts at once. This report connects wheat and flour with the butter, milk powder, oil, sugar, egg, and nut markets that shape the true cost of bread, cake, and pastry.
