Pulp Prices in China Easing

According to Mark Wilde, senior analyst with Deutsche Bank, Chinese pulp prices are easing. Russia's Ilim cut NBSK (northern bleached softwood kraft) prices in China by $70/metric ton and NBHK (northern bleached hardwood kraft) by $20/metric ton. Chile's Aruaco also has reportedly reduced prices in China, Wilde notes. "We've also received reports of more ‘spot’ deals in the U.S.," he adds.
