According to the data monitoring of the business agency, the prices of white cardboard and white board paper both fell this week. On August 18, the average market price of 230g-400g white cardboard was 6,206.67 RMB/ ton, down 0.53% compared with the average price at the beginning of the week (the average market price on August 14 was 6,240 RMB/ ton). On August 18, the average market price of 250g white board paper was 4,549 RMB/ ton, which was 1.02% lower than the average price at the beginning of the week (the average market price on August 14 was 4,595.67 RMB/ ton).
According to the observation of market changes, this week's white cardboard market is still flat, the market trend is weak, and the market price is slightly chaotic. Downstream end users take a wait-and-see attitude, and most market transactions are mainly through negotiation. While the upstream pulp price remains high, the high price cost of the paper mill cannot be alleviated in recent months. Although the large mills have issued price increase letters, the actual implementation is not good.
The demand of the whiteboard market is still declining. Due to the customers' psychology of buying up but not buying down, the dealers and the downstream are still cautious in preparing goods. The terminal demand continues to be sluggish, and most of the operators have insufficient confidence in the future market. Due to the large inventory carried forward at the end of last month, the market supply pressure still exists this month. In order to relieve the inventory pressure, the price of whiteboard paper is still weak.
According to SunSirs paper analysts, the market demand for white card paper and white board paper is still weak at present, while the orders in the Mid Autumn Festival this year are relatively sparse, and it is difficult to see a significant improvement in the demand of downstream terminals in the short term. It is expected that the prices of white card paper and white board paper will be stable and weak in China in the short term.
