As of the 23rd, the price of raw pulp continued to decline, which brought cautious and pessimistic sentiment to the base paper market.

Therefore, the price of white cardboard was still in a declined state.

The price of gray based white board paper had declined this week, as the prices of raw materials, waste paper, and wood pulp continued to decline, resulting in poor performance in the white board market. In addition, due to limited demand in the end market, the downstream base paper market lacked power for thr price increase. Due to cost pressures, the price of whiteboard paper had declined.
