RE:Wood-Pulp Prices Surge as Speculators Pounce in ChinaGreat catch, catscratch! Btw, this article is in the Wall Street Journal nothing less!
I like reading all this from someone else than me ;-)
Brian McClay is an authoritative voice on pulp (with namesake consultancy), so his quotes are quite telling.
Personally I doubt that futures are pushed by speculators so much as real demand because the price rises in the real world wouldn't go through? And spot price is for near-term delivery? Time will tell. Let's hope that Canfor Pulp capitalize like in '18 and (re)initiate a meaningful regular dividend at least $0.50 to start with.
