Surprise Surprise, Pulp prices are finally coming down, after months of increases......
We hear reports that “spot” market discounts of 15-20% on pulp prices, especially for large orders.
The fundamentals have shifted - demand is slowing, shipment volumes have eased, and world producer inventories are up nearly 24%.
Faced with slow demand, many mills are reportedly pressing suppliers for downward price adjustments.
Pulp & Paper Week Index revised the July NBSK list price from $890/mton to
$885/mton and held it flat for August, largely ending pricing
momentum. Pulp prices appear to have reached a near-term peak.
