| Random Lengths Lumber Market
Report
Trading was a mixed bag. Some framing lumber producers reported a
steady flow of sales to buyers who needed to replenish thin inventories.
But others noted dull, cautious trading that has typified the better
part of September. Fear of further downside potential kept many buyers
on the sidelines, even as bare pavement became more visible in their
yards than wood products. Gains in Southern Pine offset weakness in
other species, and the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price
held steady at $297.
Random Lengths Panel Market Report
Structural panel price declines outpaced gains amid dull sales. OSB
producers held firm to quotes or nudged them slightly higher. Recent
production cutbacks pushed a number of mills’ order files into
October. Southern Pine plywood sales sputtered, and prices gave
ground. Producers looking for offers stepped up outbound calls to
customers, particularly on railcar volumes. Western Fir plywood
sales remained lackluster in an uneventful week of trading. Prices
softened as the week progressed.
