U.S. high-grade uncoated wood pulp printing paper prices fell

Due to the slowdown in economic growth coupled with the traditional off-season sales season, the price of high-grade uncoated wood pulp printing papers in the US market has been weakening this month. Among them, prices of offset, commercial and small-size products all declined slightly since the second quarter of this year. Market observers believe that due to school holidays, employees of various companies have summer breaks. During this period, small-sized varieties are usually the slow-moving season, and the sales volume often reaches only one-third of their shipments, because schools and corporate offices are small-format paints. The consumption of paper is big. Given that the paper market is in a slump in the second quarter of this year, it will be of particular concern to all concerned parties to see what the trend will be. Some printers believe that by August, their prices will fall into the blood.

In June, 83-84 whiteness was quantified as 20-pound securities. The price of small-sized securities was reduced by US$7.5 per ton to US$795-840 per ton. In the same period of last year, the price of such paper sank 5%, that is, in the base of US$860 per ton. A drop of $43 per ton.

Related parties believe that since the market is getting weaker, paper prices are likely to fall again, and customers are not buying orders for lower prices. The price of small-scale varieties actually fell little, but its spot prices fell sharply. According to market observers, small-size paper is always followed by offset paper to change its price. From the price point of view, the price of commercial paper seems to stand still this month, but the number of orders has declined. In the second quarter of this year, the form sheet was able to maintain its strong momentum.

Relevant parties believe that in the printing and writing paper industry, it is not only necessary to adopt a large number of stop factories to reduce production in order to support the market when the market weakens. High-grade uncoated wood pulp printing paper should be shut down for a long period of time, rather than temporarily reducing production. the amount. And predict that when the economy picks up, the possibility of this uncoated wood pulp printing paper market is still uncertain, and it is currently estimated that the paper type is generally discounted at the time of sale.
