Random Lengths Lumber Market
Report
Buyers of framing lumber re-emerged after weeks
on the sidelines. Producers of various species
seeking trading levels over the past several
weeks finally hit values that drew in reluctant
customers. Western S-P-F and Southern Pine mills
in particular were aggressive in lowering prices
to entice sales, which picked up most noticeably
on Wednesday. While mill sales volumes
increased, many traders remained skeptical that
prices had touched a firm bottom, and limited
their long-side exposure.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report
Prices of most structural panel items gave way to downward
pressure. OSB sales were hit and miss, and prices softened across
North America. Producers were most vulnerable to discounts in the
South. Southern Pine plywood mills searched for a bottom amid
lackluster demand and continued downside price pressure. Buyers
perceived additional downside risk and purchased conservatively.
After a slow start, western Fir plywood trading picked up Wednesday.
Brisk truck and van sales along the West Coast helped mills firm
prices.
