Fine paper prices stable or up in Southeast Asia over first quarter of 2020

摘要

Fine paper prices are stable or up this quarter in Southeast Asia relative to Q4 2019. But market players, already seeing demand dropping off, are concerned about what Q2 will bring as the world deals with the Covid-19 pandemic. Weak demand somewhat counterbalanced by tightened supply has kept coated fine paper (CFP) levels steady from February at $710-750/tonne.
