This decrease in AWG prices is due to increased ocean freight costs for export log cargo.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Most CFR log prices in China were flat to a modest increase of +US$1 per JASm3. \u2018A\u2019 grade export now sells for up to US$143 per JASm3 in China and US$155 per JASm3 in India.<span id=\"more-19255\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The domestic market for logs has continued the very stable start to 2019. There has been some capacity taken out of the pruned market with the closure of the Waverley sawmill, but other mills producing clear sawn timber are already at capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the drop in the AWG sale prices for export sawlogs the PF Olsen Log Price Index decreased -$3 in March to $134. The index is currently $6 above the two-year average, $9 above the three-year average, and $17 higher than the five-year average.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Domestic Log Market<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prices for New Zealand's domestic log sales in March are mostly unchanged from February as most supply is locked in for the quarter. The settled weather around the country has caused log supply to increase with some mills and in particular those buying pruned logs, reporting an abundance of log supply.<\/p>\n<p>Most mills continue to report that 2019 sales levels are above 2018 levels. The continued fine settled weather in New Zealand is the likely cause of this solid demand. There was also a reduction in demand in 2018 as business was unsettled after the outcome of the New Zealand general election. But as usually happens, business realises there isn\u2019t actually much change and gets on with their activities.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian market remains slow with reduced housing starts, and the Asian demand is increasing after the aforementioned Chinese holiday.<\/p>\n<p>The European clearwood market remains strong with some New Zealand supply about to be reduced after the closure of the Waverley sawmill.<\/p>\n<p>The stable markets led to a less interesting market report, but the stability is good for the New Zealand forest industry.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Wharf Gate (AWG) prices for logs delivered to ports around New Zealand decreased on average -NZ$5 per JASm3 in March from the highest February prices.
