Brazilian BEK Buyers Brace for Price Hikes Amid Early Impacts of Middle East Crisis
Brazilian bleached eucalyptus kraft (BEK) pulp prices rose 8% year‑on‑year in dollar terms, though a stronger real softened the net effect. February contracts ranged $700‑1,130 per tonne, while the March local‑currency price is set around 4,030 Reais, down 5.1% YoY but up 7.9% month‑on‑month. Buyers are building inventories to hedge against anticipated price hikes driven by Middle East tensions that have triggered freight surcharges and logistics disruptions. Producers across Latin America signal a global price increase in March, backed by strong Chinese demand and supply constraints in Asia.
