Statistics Corner: Softwood Bleached Pulp Price Update
|
Figure 2 shows the FOEX U.S. northern bleached softwood kraft price index from the beginning of last year to the present. The bottom appears to have been reached, owing in part to the recent weakness of the U.S. dollar, which has favored exports. However, pulp demand remains low in most markets, so a sharp rebound is unlikely.
