Publication Papers (LWC-Light weight coated groundwood used in magazines) continues to struggle as demand weakens. Many major printers report discounted prices are available. This is a surprise in that typically this time of year is generally robust. One may wonder what the producers will do in December and January, when demand historically is weak.
Pricing on heavier weights (free sheet) are doing somewhat better I would imagine there is pressure to 'give-back' at least a portion of the recent price increase. I note, many coated free sheet manufacturers can turn off the coater and produce uncoated free sheet, yielding less coated supply.
