Paper & forest products industry
Article Abstract:
Prices for newsprint posted gains for most of 1997, but prices for other paper grades were depressed by the economic turmoil in Asia, and the prices for export logs and lumber have been hit hard as well. Work stoppages and consolidation are two factors which will have impacts on the paper and forest products industries, as well. Investors need to consider risks before committing funds as these stocks are susceptible to downturns.

Paper & forest products industry
Article Abstract:
Strong gains were made for newsprint prices in 1997 after hitting $500-a-ton in 1997, but capacity increases in foreign and domestic markets have made it likely for prices of other grades to remain low. Supplies of wood products have remained high, not offsetting the demand from construction, and several paper companies are consolidating. Risks inherent in the industry must be considered by investors before making commitments.
