1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The short - term pulp market may continue the low - level oscillation pattern. Spot prices are suppressed by high inventory and have limited room for rebound. Later, attention should be paid to port inventory, seasonal demand during the "Golden September and Silver October", terminal demand orders, and the capital trend in the market under the support of rising broadleaf prices. Although Suzano's price increase and marginal improvement in demand inject rebound momentum, high inventory and delivery risks still restrict the upside space. The valuation of the futures market is neutral and slightly low. The recommended strategies are to try long positions on far - month contracts on dips [88]. 3.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - This week, the pulp market may follow the market trend and undergo a corrective adjustment. The supply side is under pressure with high port inventories and abundant spot supplies.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, with the release of macro - sentiment, pulp prices will oscillate, stabilize, and repair upwards, but the time and space for this are limited [74]. - The pulp market currently faces two main problems: high inventory levels and cost - transmission issues. The high inventory requires time for domestic paper mills to digest, and the weak demand in the paper market means that downstream paper mills have low willingness to purchase pulp at high prices [74]. 3.

The capacity utilization rate of white cardboard decreased significantly week - on - week [49]. - **Finished Paper Price**: On May 16, 2025, the prices of various finished papers such as white cardboard and household tissue paper decreased week - on - week and year - on - year [50]. - **Finished Paper Profit**: On May 16, 2025, the profits of white cardboard, household tissue paper, offset paper, and coated paper decreased week - on - week, but increased year - on - year [59]. - **Inventory**: - **Futures Inventory**: On May 16, 2025, the total warehouse receipt quantity of pulp was 24.75 million tons in warehouses and 2.24 million tons in factories, with the former decreasing by 3.06% week - on - week [65]. - **Spot Inventory**: On May 16, 2025, the total inventory of five major ports was 219.8 million tons, a week - on - week increase of 8.01% [71]. 3.4 Operation Suggestions - In the short - term, the pulp market will oscillate, stabilize, and repair upwards due to the release of macro - sentiment. However, considering the high inventory and weak demand in the downstream paper market, the upward movement is limited [74].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - Under the situation of low valuation and weak drivers, pulp prices may continue to fluctuate at a low level. Last week, domestic pulp prices continued to fluctuate at a low level, mainly due to the low willingness of downstream paper mills to replenish inventory and the continuous cancellation of warehouse receipts. In the future, considering the decline in downstream demand, the US dollar price of pulp is gradually entering a price - cut cycle, which has a negative impact on the market. The supply pressure in May may still be high, while the demand for pulp is difficult to improve significantly. Currently, the market valuation is low. In the short - term, investors can focus on the valuation repair opportunities, but the upside space may be limited. In the medium - to - long - term, they can consider short - selling at high prices after the valuation repair [70]. 3.
