The demand for logs has already started to reduce in advance of the China Lunar New Year next month. The softwood log inventory has risen to approximately 4.4M m3.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The spruce logs from the timber salvage programs in Europe continue to impact the China log market with most of the current spruce logs coming from Germany and a smaller amount from the Czech Republic, and other neighbouring countries.<span id=\"more-22062\"><\/span>\u00a0There are also reports of highly stressed trees in forests in nearby countries that will likely succumb to bark beetle.<\/p>\n<p>Some estimates say that in the central European the volume of damaged logs is at over 100M m3. Earlier this the supply of this spruce to China was limited by the supply chain but the combination of German efficiency and the ability of Chinese log traders to spot an opportunity always meant this volume was likely to increase. Log supply has been over 1M m3 per month since September. Log prices have also dropped 15% since Q2.<\/p>\n<p>While the supply of spruce sawn timber has reached its peak as there is no additional sawmilling capacity, the supply of spruce logs is only limited by the supply chain and the willingness of Chinese log processors to substitute with spruce logs.<\/p>\n<p>China\u2019s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rose just 6.0% year-on-year in Q3 2019. This is China\u2019s weakest economic growth in almost three decades (since the first quarter of 1992). It was also at the bottom end of the government\u2019s full-year target range of 6.0%-6.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers from the construction sector remain relatively stable. Total investment in real estate had an accumulated increase of 10.5% in September year-on year. The total floor area completed in Q3 was 866M m2, which was a 14.4% increase fromQ2 but 17M m2 below Q3 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The average new home price across the 70 major cities in China rose 0.5% from August to September. The China government has expressed wariness around high debt in the sector along with the risk of a bubble burst so are refraining from stimulating this economy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"section-title\"><\/h2>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The price for an A grade log in the China log market has remained around USD 124 per JASm3.
