U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 32 2013

Random Lengths Lumber Market Report

Framing lumber sales were a mixed bag as August got under way. Sales in dry species in the West were steady, and prices gained modestly, but the narrows of green Fir softened. A slower pace was noted in Canadian S-P-F, although the wides, and 2x10 in particular, were active. In the South, buyers stepped back and awaited delivery of a backlog of orders. All told, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite rose $3, to $356, the zero-tax benchmark under the Softwood Lumber Agreement.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report

Structural panel trading was lackadaisical. Length of order files determined whether OSB mills discounted prices or held firm to quotes, and price trends were mixed by region. Southern Pine plywood prices edged higher, but the market was quiet as buyers worked on getting earlier orders through the system. Most producers fell back on order files that reached at least the week of August 12. Western Fir plywood sales slowed as secondaries digested recent purchases or adopted a cautious approach.
