As part of the same consultation, since the sale prices of 40-g newsprint in the UK are now frequently quoted directly during price research, Fastmarkets RISI has decided to report 40-g newsprint prices in the UK directly rather than basing them off 42.5-g newsprint via a half-yield formula.
Fastmarkets RISI did not receive any negative feedback to these proposed changes. As a result, the last assessments for the LWC and SC rotogravure grades and the last derived assessment for 40-g newsprint prices were published on June 8.
UK graphic paper grades impacted:
432 Newsprint, 40 g, UK, £/tonne435 Supercalendared-A (SC-A) Rotogravure Reels, 52 g, UK, £/tonne7 Supercalendared-A (SC-A) Rotogravure Reels, 56 g, UK, £/tonne15 Lightweight Coated (LWC) Rotogravure Reels, 60 g, UK, £/tonne
The following derived Euro prices for the latter three grades are also being discontinued:
