Uncoated Papers remain in Demand

All the major producers have announced $60/ton price increase on copy papers for June. Cut-sized (8 1/2x11) pricing has lagged behind the rebound in roll stock pricing. USA supply reductions (mills taking production out of the market) and modestly better demand have helped dynamics. Also, Brazilian suppliers remain focused on improved local demand, not on raising exports to US.
Weyerhaeuser continues to look for a buyer - maybe International Paper, Boise or Domtar. This will add further confusion
to the market.
Come to Paper.com for all your uncoated requirments.
