- VSF theoretical profit remains in the green: With higher VSF and DWP prices, the theoretical VSF margin for medium grades dropped by 2% w/w to CNY 704/t.
- Imported hardwood DWP pulp price jumps 8% w/w: Further DWP price momentum supported by rising commodity prices. With paper pulp closing at CNY 6,100/t last week on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, further momentum is likely for DWP.
