Higher Us Mixed Paper Export Prices To The Far East

摘要

The month of August was characterised by rising prices of US mixed paper exports to the Far East. Reports indicate that the price of this recovered paper grade rose by around $10 to not more than $135/sh.t fob. In contrast, OCC suffered a drop in prices of up to $20 to a maximum of about $200/ sh.t fob. Demand from the Far East is said to be sharply declining, a fact that industry experts primarily attribute to the OlympicrnGames, in the wake of which the US exported huge volumes to China so that the country's demand is likely to be covered for the time being.rnPrice increases of up to $10 to $120/sh.t. at most were also attainable for mixed paper in the US market in August. However, OCC prices were lower than in July. The drop reportedly amounted to around $10 to not less than$155/sh.t.
