1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core View of the Report - The pulp market is expected to maintain a narrow - range oscillation pattern in the short term, with limited upside and downside space.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, the pulp market is expected to maintain a narrow - range oscillation pattern with limited upside and downside space. The cost support of hardwood pulp and the lower - than - expected inventory accumulation pressure at ports limit the downside space, while softwood pulp is restricted by futures market fluctuations and abundant supply, and the lack of substantial increase in downstream procurement restricts the upside. In the medium - term, the key to pulp price trends lies in the actual recovery of downstream demand after March. If the paper mill's operating rate rises steadily and terminal orders improve, restocking demand is expected to be gradually released. Considering the impact of the US - Iran conflict on the shipping market, the market is expected to oscillate slightly upwards following market sentiment [99][100]. 3.
