Core Viewpoints of the Report - The pulp market sentiment has improved, with the pulp futures rebounding from a low level in July 2025. However, the pulp market supply is relatively loose, with high port inventories and a slow de - stocking pace. The subsequent rebound height depends on demand stabilization and macro - economic conditions. It is recommended to take a light - position trial long position [2][5][24] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - In July 2025, pulp futures rebounded from a low level. The pulp market followed the upward trend of the commodity sector, but due to high port inventories, slow de - stocking, low downstream purchasing enthusiasm, and cost support, the market was in a dynamic game [5] 3.2 Pulp Fundamental Analysis - Import Volume Increase with Slowing Speed: Global pulp production is stable at around 180 million tons. China has a high degree of dependence on pulp imports. In June 2025, China imported 3.031 million tons of pulp, with an import value of $1.9079 billion and an average unit price of $629.46 per ton. From January to June, the cumulative import volume and value increased by 4.2% and 2.3% respectively compared to the same period last year. The import volume maintained an increasing trend, but the growth rate slowed down [9][10] - Inventory Pressure in Major Domestic Ports: As of July 23, 2025, the total weekly inventory of pulp in major domestic ports was 2.1266 million tons, a 3.49% decrease from the previous week, still at a high level in the same period of previous years. In May 2025, European port inventories increased, and in June, European chemical pulp consumption decreased while inventories increased. Coniferous pulp has less inventory pressure, while broad - leaf pulp has more supply and inventory pressure [12][13] - Diverse Downstream Operating Conditions: Global pulp apparent consumption is stable at around 180 million tons. Waste pulp is the main consumption method in China, accounting for 63% of total pulp consumption. As of July 24, the operating rates of different types of paper mills varied, with most paper mills operating stably and a few reducing production [15][18] - Rising Prices of Coniferous and Broad - Leaf Pulp in the Domestic Market: As of July 24, the weekly average price of imported coniferous pulp was 5,866 yuan per ton, a 0.53% increase from the previous week, and the weekly average price of imported broad - leaf pulp was 4,111 yuan per ton, a 0.76% increase from the previous week. Although the price of imported broad - leaf pulp increased, downstream purchasing enthusiasm was low, and high - price transactions did not increase significantly [20] 3.3 Outlook for the Future - On the supply side, in June 2025, China's pulp import volume and value increased compared to the same period last year. On the demand side, port inventories were high, and the de - stocking pace was slow. The pulp market supply was relatively loose, and high - price transactions were limited. The subsequent rebound height depends on demand stabilization and macro - economic conditions, and it is recommended to take a light - position trial long position [23][24]
