\n

US traders noted a change in the tone of the framing lumber market, and even a sense that prices had found or were nearing a bottom.<\/em><\/p>\n

However, that sentiment was stronger in the first half of the week than the latter. A few mill curtailments announced in the West and a picket line set up at a mill site in British Columbia caused traders to stir.<\/p>\n

However, the B.C. mill picket turned out to be a one-day affair, no further production curtailments were announced, and Wednesday\u2019s U.S. housing report threw cold water on warming demand.<\/p>\n

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

Structural panel prices plunged as mills searched for trading levels to alleviate buildups. Prices of OSB finished the week lower, but strong sales in the second half of the week allowed producers to bounce quotes off their lows in some regions. Southern Pine plywood trading nearly reached a standstill amid languishing demand. Mills struggled to find levels to entice buyers off the sidelines. A lack of sales, and offerings stacking up at mills, forced western Fir plywood producers to probe for trading levels.<\/p>\n
