Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The core view is that inventory remains at a high level, and demand shows a weak feedback. Last week, the pulp futures price declined, with a decrease in open interest and dominant long - position reduction. The SP2507 main contract dropped by 52 yuan/ton, a 0.96% decline, closing at 5362 yuan/ton. Domestic coniferous pulp and broad - leaf pulp spot prices also decreased [5]. - In March 2025, European chemical pulp consumption was 86.57 tons, a 3.24% year - on - year decrease; inventory was 70.73 tons, a 6.24% year - on - year increase, and inventory days were 26 days, up 1 day from the same period last year. China's pulp imports in March were 324.9 tons, a 0.9% month - on - month and 2.5% year - on - year increase, with a cumulative 963.9 tons and a 5.0% cumulative year - on - year increase. China's machine - made paper and cardboard production in March was 1455.3 tons, a 3.6% year - on - year increase, with a cumulative 3819.0 tons and a 3.8% cumulative year - on - year increase [6]. - The core logic is that last week, pulp futures and spot prices declined slightly. The basis of Silver Star strengthened, while that of Russian Needle weakened, and the brand price difference continued to widen. Since February, the price difference between coniferous pulp brands and between coniferous and broad - leaf pulp has been widening. Weak demand and weak expectations have led to a downward trend in pulp prices. In the second quarter, demand is still insufficient. On the supply side, the volume of pulp shipped from overseas mills to China increased in March, but due to low acceptance of high - priced foreign pulp from March to April, the long - term contract orders decreased, and it is expected that the future arrival volume will decline. There is new domestic production capacity for broad - leaf pulp, which will put pressure on its price. Coniferous pulp prices will have a bottom - finding and bottom - building process. Domestic pulp port inventory remains at a high level, and the demand side feedback is weak [7]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
