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!
