Price declines for containerboard continue to increase.
Containerboard sales prices are in a steep decline and most buyers expect this trend will continue in April because box consumption has been reduced substantially.
Buyers report that linerboard spot sales prices averaged $540/ton this month, down $15 from the month before, while corrugated medium also has dropped $15 to $530. Early orders for April deliveries put these prices at $500-$510 before customer-specific discounts.
In fact, analyst George L. Staphos at Merrill Lynch & Co. says some April linerboard prices could be as low as $470-480/ton after volume discounts in the competitive Northeast region --and only slightly higher in the Midwest. He adds that corrugating medium transaction prices in the East Coast and Midwest may be heading for $440-$470 in coming weeks.
