Report Industry Investment Rating - No specific investment rating is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The pulp price is currently weak due to delivery pressure and a fundamental pattern of weak supply and demand. However, with the pulp price falling to a low level, there are rumors that some enterprises are preparing to take delivery, which may relieve the warehouse receipt pressure. As the port inventory decreases week - on - week and the seasonal peak demand season approaches, paper mills have a strong willingness to support prices, so the pulp price may rebound.

The "peak season is not prosperous", with basically small fluctuations. Among the four major paper types, the production of offset printing paper and tissue paper increased year - on - year, while the production of white cardboard and coated paper decreased year - on - year. The improvement of raw paper orders is limited, dragging down the pulp market trend [3]. Price and Market Trend - The spot price of softwood pulp in Shandong today continues to remain stable, and the port inventory starts to decline slightly, but it is still higher than the same period last year [3]. - The pulp price in Shandong is stable, the market has signs of stopping the decline, but the upward driving force is limited, and the trading sentiment is light [5]. Market Sentiment and Suggestion - The short - selling main force has reduced positions, which is bullish for the pulp market [8]. - It is expected that the pulp market will remain in a low - level range - bound trading before the Mid - Autumn Festival peak season, and it is recommended to wait and see [5].

The external quotation of imported hardwood pulp has a rising expectation, and some spot traders in some regions have a certain sentiment of supporting prices due to cost pressure. However, the profit improvement of downstream paper mills is poor, the acceptance of high prices is limited, and they mainly purchase at low prices.

1. Report Investment Rating - The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints - This week's pulp outlook is slightly bullish. International pulp mills' production cuts and product conversions support the current pulp prices from falling, and the increase in foreign market prices further boosts market sentiment. However, the demand market is currently slow to follow up. Whether pulp prices can continue to rise or surge significantly depends on the shipment status and production fluctuations in the demand-side base paper market. Additionally, macro - policy stimuli can also affect the price fluctuations of pulp futures. It is recommended to monitor port inventory levels and base paper demand [75]. 3.
