More Bad News for Coated Papers

Shipments and pricing remain depressed for publication coated papers. Most buyers report prices fell $15/cwt in June (note, May also saw $15 decline - April down too). Printers report reduction in orders BUT, also they trimmed of inventory - this should help - but year to date demand is down approximately 35%. The catalog season should help.

This declining price for paper is truly not helping anyone. If more and more mills continue to discount, they will be below cost to produce - and this is not healthy long term.
