U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 39 2018

Random Lengths Lumber Market Report

Prices of framing lumber continued to plummet, although lower prices generated more volume for some sellers than they had seen in weeks. Many secondaries and dealers continued to work down higher-priced inventories. Some buyers, however, cautiously stepped off the sideline to replenish, as prices fell to levels they hadn’t seen in more than a year. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price dropped $18, to $405. The $137 drop since the start of the quarter is the steepest on record for the third quarter.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report

Structural panel sales slowed, and prices fell. OSB prices softened across North America, as producers with loads to sell before month- and quarter-end lowered quotes or opened to counters. The overall pace was sluggish, although blocks were sold at significant discounts in some regions. Southern Pine plywood trading faded amid increased caution among buyers who scaled back purchases out of concern of downside risk. Most western Fir plywood mills opened to counters amid quiet trading.
