Demand for framing lumber was light in the first week of December. Buyers held back amid seasonal slowness, weather, and concerns about the broader U.S. economy. Order files supported mills in holding to established quotes, but budding softness was evident in most producing regions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Traders weighed these issues against announced production cutbacks, both permanent and temporary, but failed to react with any immediate urgency. Declines in a few key items resulted in a $3 drop in the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price.<\/p>\n

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

Structural panel buyers lacked urgency, and prices declined amid ample to abundant mill offerings. OSB trading was sparse across North America. Buyers sought a sometimes-tenuous balance between paring inventories for year-end but keeping enough stock on hand to supply customers. Southern Pine plywood traders navigated a stagnant market that revealed little to no urgency throughout the week. Lackadaisical demand persisted in western Fir plywood markets. A few producers reported more interest in sheathing.<\/p>\n
