Hope for upturn on the German LWC market

摘要

Reports on order levels of paper manufacturers on the German LWC market sound more encouraging than in the course of the year. They expect the seasonal upturn by the fourth quarter at the latest. Market players also reportedly draw hope from the fact that negotiations are already underway for paper deliveries in 2010. However, insiders point out that the industry is operating from a very low level. The market situation is described as "anything but rosy", without any outlook for near-term improvement to prices.
