\n

The seasonal demand for lumber in the US helped producers regain command of the framing lumber market, and many prices moved higher during last week.<\/em><\/p>\n

Green Douglas Fir was the major exception, as prices fell in chunks before mills saw any renewed interest from customers. As warmer weather spurred increased demand, supply-side issues \u2014 mostly involving freight logistics \u2014 remained at the forefront. With gains in dry species outweighing the rout in green Fir, the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price rose $4, to $498.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

Structural panel trading was cautious, and prices shifted mildly. Prices of OSB were mostly unchanged, although cracks appeared in some markets. This was most apparent in Eastern Canada, where producers had loads available for quick shipment. Sales of Southern Pine rated sheathing picked up at midweek, as buyers stepped back in to replenish depleted inventories. Western Fir plywood trading was steady, but unspectacular. Sheathing sales picked up Wednesday.<\/p>\n
