Domestic SBS (solid bleached sulfate) board list prices in December were flat at $1,130 - $1,180/ton (+12.7% y/y), Wilde reports. "While markets are still tight, we are hearing some reports of demand easing in recent weeks," he notes. SBS unmade orders declined to 470,000 tons the week of December 1, from 506,000 tons the week ending November 17. In October, producers implemented the full $40/ton price increase. Since the beginning of the year, prices are up $130/ton, Wilde says.
