Trading remained a grind, as sellers stepped up efforts to move prompt loadings while buyers limited purchases to must-have needs. Many traders anticipated the long holiday weekend, maintaining a cautious approach to see what develops next week.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Prices trended downward in most all framing lumber species, and the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price sank $10, to $335. Traders widely cited an imbalance in supply and demand, with many needs easily covered in local distribution or from secondaries working down their own inventories.<\/p>\n

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

Structural panel trading was stagnant as the long holiday weekend approached in the U.S. OSB buyers throughout North America lacked urgency, and filled in sparsely. Discounts surfaced in the South. Southern Pine plywood trading was muted amid a lack of urgency among buyers. Rated sheathing traded on either side of previously established levels. Trading in western Fir plywood remained dull. Producers tried to match output with demand levels by reducing production. Light sales left prices of Canadian plywood prone to significant discounts.<\/p>\n
