World pulp market prices continue

According to the Montreal Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC), sales of chemical pulp in the world's top 20 countries increased by 13.0% in August 2009 over the same period last year. Among them, NBKP increased by 6.4%, and LBKP increased by 19.1%.

In terms of regions, exports to Western Europe decreased by 6.3%, while those in North America decreased by 3.2%, while exports to mainland China increased by 127.6% due to inventory replenishment.

At the end of August, under the influence of global production cuts, chemical pulp was reduced by one day to 27 days in July.

In the performance of various markets, North American offers rose by $40/t from August. NBKP is priced at US$770/t in the north, US$720/t in the south, 650 US$/t in LBKP, US$635-640/t in the North, and US$620/t in the South (40-50 USD in the US) /t). The buyer can only accept the price increase request due to insufficient stock. The major manufacturers also announced that they will raise the price in October by another $30/t, and the new price will be $800/t.

In the European market, NBKP prices continued to rise, and prices in the North rose very smoothly in September. In October, some manufacturers announced price increases. The new price was US$760/t. LBKP also tried to raise US$50/t. However, under the customer's bungee resistance, the progress was not smooth. Although there is a sign of recovery in pulp demand in the European market, the demand for paper is still not good, so the rise in raw material prices may only lead to an increase in the number of paper mills closing down.

In addition, in the Asian market, the contract price of NBKP and LBKP in September was raised by 30~40 USD/t. However, despite the strong demand in the mainland market, many manufacturers have switched to export to the better-priced European market. In October, pulp supplier NBKP was raised by US$30/t, while LBKP was raised by US$40/$/t. For the customer, since the fourth quarter is the peak demand season, it is necessary to increase the pulp stock, and the price increase can only be silently accepted.
