Incertitude sur le court-terme, mais pour le moyen/long-terme, la tendance reste inflationnaire Court terme: + macro-economy, stocks, problèmes de production (météo, mécanique, grève…) inflation des prix du papier en Chine… - cyclicalité, pression sur les marges, nouvelle capacités, coûts de production bas, dollar US en hausse?... Long terme: Aucune nouvelle capacité confirmée au-delà de 2018 Consolidation (Eldorado/PE, Fibria/Suzano, Lwarcel/APRIL) Manque de fibres en Asie, et ailleurs? “Peak RCF”, & la guerre contre le plastic “Peak cotton” & le boom viscose La majorité des risques déflationnaires sont en dehors de notre contrôle (e.g. économie Chinoise, tensions géopolitiques, niveau de la dette…) Le cycle inflationnaire Chinois ne se répètera pas!
