Domtar, Canfor Reduce NBSK Pulp Prices

Domtar and Canfor Pulp have both informed North American customers that they will reduce prices for northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp effective October 1. The two largest N.A. market NBSK producers will lower prices to $850/tonne, a reduction of $20/ton. The move is the result of weak demand, declining prices and increased market pulp producer inventories globally.
