U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 44 2013

Random Lengths Lumber Market Report

Framing lumber sales generally topped expectations for a week in which many decision-makers were out of their offices. Lean inventories across the distribution system were a catalyst as buyers returned with regularity to replenish stock that eroded faster than they had anticipated. Consumption remained steady to strong in many markets. Prompt loads got the most play. A perception that downside price risk was minimal drew in buyers in some regions.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report

Structural panel trading was lackluster. Mill sales of OSB were spotty, especially in the second half of the week, and prices in most producing regions were flat to soft. Southern Pine plywood sales languished, and prices gave ground as mills struggled to push order files through the end of the month. A few mills got this done with help from sharp discounting. Most western Fir plywood mills and secondaries reported a brisk pace of inquiries, but orders were harder to come by.
