More on Pulp Prices

FOEX’s index for northern bleached softwood kraft (NBSK) pulp jumped by $12.35/ton to $607.05/ton this week as a result of capacity cuts and closures, as well as a weak U.S. dollar and strong shipments to China. In fact, shipments of market pulp to China are up 71% in the first four months of this year.

Very interesting comments made ... Many think the Chinese are stock piling and they will stop buying suddenly. My guess is the summer might be difficult.
