Understanding financial instruments for North American buyers and sellers of pulp

NOREXECO announces its first North American-focused webinar

On June 28th at 11:00 Eastern Time, NOREXECO, the world’s only international regulated market for trading pulp and paper derivatives, will fully explain the current state and outlook of the pulp markets in North America. Companies have historically utilized these same financial instruments for mitigation of pricing risk for energy, currency exchange, and numerous commodities, and attendees will learn that leveraging the same strategies for pulp is no different, and NO PHYSICAL DELIVERY IS REQUIRED.

What’s on the agenda:

  • Fastmarkets RISI’s senior economist Patrick Cavanagh will analyze the global pulp markets and their impact on North America
  • NOREXECO’s portfolio manager, Carl Tonsberg will explain how to leverage NOREXECO’s expertise and the process to ensure compliance required by both companies and regulators
  • Simplex’s founder, Gurinder Duggal will recap the basics of hedging while also discussing how to use various strategies to assist in making decisions for executing pulp and paper derivatives
  • NOREXECO’s North American consultant, Myles Cohen, will be the host and the moderator for the Webinar.

The webinar will be held from 11:00 a.m. to Noon, Eastern Time on Tuesday June 28th, 2022.
