As 2007 concludes, the pulp market ends with price increases, with a $25/ton increase to $875/ton for NBSK. This is largely a "supply' driven" increase with wood and energy costs driving the market. Additionally, both SBSK and Eucalyptus prices increased $30/mton in December to $840/mton and $805/mton, respectively. Hardwood is reportedly the
tightest portion of the market. Most experts believe the rally will likely continue into 2008.
Pulp chemical costs have also added pressures to the increases (mainly caustic soda and Sodium Chlorate).
