Perhaps the only shinning star in the industry is market pulp; whereby, reports for July shipments confirm an increase of nearly 4% from July of 2008. China continues to buy pulp and is certainly assisting the demand.
Worldwide inventories have decreased and we hear pulp is now under 30 days (versus 36 days at this time in 2008). Pulp prices are witnessing increases as a result from companies such as Canfor Pulp, Domtar, Aracruz, Suzano, Arauco, Botnia, Donghae Pulp, Mercer Intl, Tembec, VCP, Sodra, West Fraser and Winstone (price inceases ranging from $30-50/ton).
