Amendment to pricing schedule of European contract pulp assessments

Fastmarkets is amending its pricing schedule of European contract pulp to better fit with market practices, effective January 2026.

Rather than publishing on the Thursday of the first full week of the month, Fastmarkets will publish European contract pulp prices on the 10th of the month or first business day thereafter. Future European pulp prices, such as the proposed spot assessments, would follow this schedule unless otherwise stated.

The following prices are affected:

FP-PLP-0003  Pulp, bleached hardwood kraft, eucalyptus, cif Europe, $/tonne

FP-PLP-0004  Pulp, bleached hardwood kraft, northern mixed, cif Europe, $/tonne

FP-PLP-0005  Pulp, bleached hardwood kraft, southern mixed, cif Europe, $/tonne

FP-PLP-0007  Pulp, northern bleached softwood kraft, cif Europe, $/tonne

FP-PLP-0008  Pulp, southern bleached softwood kraft, cif Europe, $/tonne

FP-PLP-0011  Pulp, bleached hardwood kraft, birch, cif Europe, $/tonne

These prices are a part of the Fastmarkets global pulp package.
