U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 38 2013

Random Lengths Lumber Market Report

Sales turned up a notch in most framing lumber sectors. Traders at all levels were generally encouraged by September¡¯s activity to date, and some producers had already pushed shipment times through the month. Many buyers stayed cautious, with the second-quarter collapse in the market still fresh in their minds. However, that approach, combined with steady-to-active sales, meant they were forced to return to the mills more often for replenishment. Gains for the week pushed the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price to $364.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report

Structural panel sales gained momentum as the week progressed. Activity in OSB picked up in the second half of the week, as buyers with thin inventories stepped in to replenish. Most producers focused on extending order files rather than pushing quotes higher. Southern Pine plywood trading kicked into high gear Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. Steep discounts at the mills pulled buyers into the market. A week of strong sales pushed western Fir plywood mills¡¯ order files into the week of September 30 and early October.
