U.S. lumber and panel market reports

U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 23 2019

Random Lengths Lumber Market Report

 

Despite a growing list of mill curtailments, prices of framing lumber sagged under the weight of production. Demand strengthened marginally in some markets, but weather continued to stifle activity in others. Flooding in the Midwest and drenching storms moving through Texas and the Gulf Coast sapped consumption in those regions. While some key Western S-P-F prices posted modest gains, many other framing lumber prices continued to falter. The Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price fell $6, to $319.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report

 

Structural panel supplies outpaced demand, and prices faded as a result. Prices of OSB continued to erode, with downward pressure most severe in the South. Trading in Southern Pine plywood was muted amid a continued lack of buyer urgency and plentiful supplies. Recent trends in western Fir plywood persisted. Producers scrapped for every dollar, but opened to modest discounts to sell truckloads. After a strong end to the prior week, largely due to a wildfire threat in northern Alberta, Canadian plywood sales subsided.
