SHFE Eyes Corrugated Base Paper Futures as A-Share Paper Stocks Surge
On September 23, A-share papermaking stocks climbed across the board, sparking a wave of limit-ups and turning attention to the global paper industry's next phase.
Li Wei, China general manager at Fastmarkets RISI, believes demand for paper and paperboard will accelerate from 2021 onward. However, because the market has contracted in recent years, growth is expected to remain at a low level and stable. Developing countries are seen as the main source of future demand growth, while packaging paper and board and tissue paper are expected to keep leading that growth.
Along the papermaking industry chain, more physical enterprises are using pulp futures prices as the price benchmark for purchase and sale contracts, gradually developing integrated spot-futures trading models for price and inventory management.
At the pulp sub-forum of the 18th Shanghai Derivatives Market Forum on September 23, Li Hui, deputy general manager of the Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE), said repeated pandemic outbreaks, growing global inflation risks and other factors have caused significant volatility in bulk commodity prices. This has brought substantial uncertainty to global industrial and supply chain stability and to corporate production and operations, sharply raising enterprises' need for hedging.
On next steps, Li Hui said SHFE will fully and deeply implement the new development philosophy, launch standard warehouse receipt trading for pulp, further enrich delivery resources, optimize delivery warehouse layouts, continue exploring internationalization, and actively study and advance the listing of paper futures varieties such as corrugated base paper. The goal is to provide higher-quality, more efficient and more comprehensive services, precisely empower the papermaking industry, accelerate its green and low-carbon development, and promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development.
