During the third quarter of 2007 the pulp international market performance was mainly affected by two trends: (1) global increase in pulp demand, which price is referenced in US\$; (2) prices increase motivated either by demand dynamics or by the intent to nullify depreciation of US\$ against the euro.
The pulp market performance followed the same trend as of 1H07, becoming gradually more sustained. This was mainly due to an increase in global demand and a limited supply, especially in the Nordic Countries, despite capacity increases in other region. Worldwide the global pulp inventories are at exceptionally low levels.
