\n

The prices for softwood lumber imports from Canada to the US have\u00a0skyrocketed 30% since Hurricane Harvey hit last summer and mostly as a result of the\u00a0tariffs imposed by the U.S. Commerce Department.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was the highest week-end futures price we have on record, dating back to January 1995<\/em>,\u201d said David Logan, director of NAHB\u2019s tax and trade policy analysis.\u00a0\u201cThere was a short reprieve for price increases following the hurricane, but prices have risen sharply this month<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing history as a guide, the most likely path forward is a lengthy litigation process during which lumber prices remain high<\/em>,\u201d Logan said. \u201cFutures prices for 2018 delivery have increased substantially in recent weeks, suggesting that financial markets believe negotiations will be prolonged.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
