Markets gain stability, prices hold sideways in 'pretty good' October

摘要

US boxboard market contacts reported decent manufacturing conditions in a "pretty good" October, with mostly stabilized shipments and prices after some declines in September. "All mills are reasonable," said a converting source. "The upper tier is healthy." "For the moinent, there's a calm," said a producer. Buyers noted some busier activity for solid bleached sulfate (SBS) with some late Christmas activity while there was "no pressure at all" on coated unbleached kraft (CUK) that continued running near full as it has much of the year.
