Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints - The fundamentals of the pulp market are persistently weak, and pulp prices are expected to oscillate to find a bottom. The pulp market showed limited changes in the third quarter, and it is predicted that there will also be a lack of variables in the fourth quarter. The weak fundamental state of pulp is difficult to improve [22]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Market Review - In the third quarter, pulp prices continued to oscillate, and port wood pulp inventories were higher than the same period in previous years. The overall pulp market was weak. In July, the anti - involution wave drove up commodities, causing pulp prices to rise, but they fell back to low levels as the wave receded [3][4]. 2. Fundamental Analysis - Supply Side - From January to August, the cumulative imports of softwood pulp were 5.743 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.4%. The cumulative imports of hardwood pulp were 11.153 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 10.7%. Due to the continuous capacity expansion of hardwood pulp at home and abroad in the past two years, its supply - demand situation has deteriorated more significantly than that of softwood pulp. The needle - broad price difference has remained high and has recently seen a slight correction [9]. 3. Fundamental Analysis - Demand Side - This year, the downstream paper - making industry has remained in a state of poor profits. The production profits of offset paper and coated paper declined significantly in the third quarter, highlighting weak terminal demand. The profits of white cardboard and household paper continued to remain at low levels. The low - profit situation has led to generally low operating rates in the paper - making industry, and the demand for pulp is weak. Although the operating rate of coated paper has increased to some extent due to less new capacity expansion, it is still difficult to change the overall weak demand for pulp [15][21]. 4. Price Trend Analysis - Currently, there are no bright spots on the demand side of pulp, and there are no signs of supply contraction. The fundamentals are continuously weak, so there is no upward driving force for prices. However, the current futures price is close to the cost of high - cost overseas pulp mills. Further price declines may stimulate domestic speculative replenishment demand, which will support pulp prices. Also, the exchange has temporarily excluded Russian softwood pulp from the delivery scope, reducing the low - cost warehouse receipts available for delivery in contracts after January, which also provides some support for the market [22].
