Buyers widely expressed wariness about record prices and extended mill order files. Some traders also said the pullback in the stock market gave them pause. Even so, mills levered prices higher, and the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price rose $11, to $492.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Random Lengths Panel Market Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

Demand for structural panels outpaced supply, and prices climbed. OSB buyers scrambled for coverage amid unrelenting supply shortages.<\/p>\n

Western Fir plywood trading was steady, but not at the pace seen in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
