More on Pulp Market

Coy Paper continues to be surprised at the current strength for market pulp. The price increases all seem to be accepted, and the deep discounts are drying up. The strong demand from China along with low mill inventories and curtailed capacity have all assisted with the tightening of supply. NBSK will soon be up another $30/MT to $800/MT; SBSK also up $30 to $750/mt; BEK to $700/mt; HBSK to $690/mt; and SBHK to $670/mt.
With new list prices at this level, one might assume some of the curtailed pulp producing equipment might be re engaged!
