Why are Pulp NBSK - Europe Prices so high?
09-12-2025 - The current market landscape presents a complex picture with mixed signals. On one hand, the forecast indicates upward price pressure on raw materials, driven by Flows data, particularly Exchange Rates and Seaborne Imports & Exports, which collectively contribute to an increase of 16.94 €/t. Conversely, Demand and Technical data suggest a downward pressure, creating an overall mixed outlook.
In terms of specific market predictions, the forecast anticipates a decline in the FOEX Pulp NBSK market price to $1,289.74 per ton in the upcoming month. This projection aligns with Canfor Pulp Products' recent report, which foresees continued weakness in the global softwood kraft pulp market conditions throughout the fourth quarter of 2025. The report attributes this weakness to ongoing economic uncertainties, especially between China and the United States. Consequently, pulp producer inventories are expected to remain significantly above the balanced range for the rest of 2025.
Overall, the market is experiencing a tug-of-war between factors that are pushing raw material prices up and those that are exerting downward pressure on demand. This dynamic is further complicated by geopolitical and economic uncertainties, particularly affecting the pulp sector, where inventory levels are projected to stay high.
