US prices rise again from take-up of 4Q increases; no progress on January hikes

摘要

The North American newsprint market continues to be heavily fragmented in January with producers lacking unity on pricing strategy and prices varying according to buyer size and location, contacts said this week. Sources said prices for large- and midsized buyers in the US East ranged from $525/tonne or less to $550/tonne or more while in the West they were around $25/ tonne lower.
