U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 31 2013

Random Lengths Lumber Market Report

Sales in most framing lumber markets cooled in comparison with the prior week, but prices continued to carry upward momentum. Buyers were cautious about adding to their inventories. However, finding coverage for near-term requirements was often difficult as mill order files in some regions reached mid-August. Adding to order files was the main priority for many producers, and most raised quotes in modest increments. Two-tiered pricing was evident, but most wholesalers reported steady movement of wood through their hands.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report

Structural panel markets played to mixed reviews. A quieter tone prevailed in mill sales of OSB, and prices flattened in some regions. Demand was best in the Pacific Northwest, but a digestion phase was clearly evident in many other regions. Southern Pine plywood mill order files continued to move out, solidifying producers¡¯ dominant position in negotiations with customers. Files were strongest on the westside. Western Fir plywood mills reported steady sales and kept upward pressure on prices, which gained about $5-10.
