Amendment to Fastmarkets’ publication calendar for European pulp assessments

Fastmarkets is amending its pricing schedule for the European pulp price assessments for May 2025, postponing the assessment date from Thursday June 5 to Thursday June 12.

Given the timing of the 2025 International Pulp Week in Vancouver, Canada, scheduled during the first week of June, Fastmarkets will publish European pulp price assessments on Thursday June 12 instead of Thursday June 5.

The following prices are affected:

  • FP-PLP-0007 Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft, Europe
  • FP-PLP-0008 Southern Bleached Softwood Kraft, Europe
  • FP-PLP-0011 Bleached Hardwood Kraft, Birch, Europe
  • FP-PLP-0003 Bleached Hardwood Kraft, Eucalyptus, Europe
  • FP-PLP-0004 Bleached Hardwood Kraft, Northern mixed, Europe
  • FP-PLP-0005 Bleached Hardwood Kraft, Southern mixed, Europe
