The CFR sale price for A grade logs in China remained in the mid US$120s range per m3<\/sup>. At Wharf Gate (AWG) prices for export logs delivered to ports around New Zealand in December increased by an average of 2-3 NZD per m3\u00a0from November pricing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Most exporters had predicted December pricing similar to November, however there was a reduction in shipping costs as overall demand for ocean freight remains low. Log stocks in China have risen to approximately 4.4M m3.<\/p>\n

Domestic demand for logs remains stable and relatively balanced throughout New Zealand as the year end approaches, although there was a hiccup in demand for pruned logs in the Central North Island when the Claymark group went into sudden receivership in the first week of December.<\/p>\n

Due to the increase in the AWG prices the PF Olsen Log Price Index for December increased $1 to $122. The index is currently $5 below the two-year average, $4 below the three-year average, and $2 higher than the five-year average.<\/p>\n

New Zealand Domestic Log Market<\/strong><\/p>\n

Log Supply and Pricing<\/em><\/p>\n

There have not been any significant log price changes as mills work towards the end of the year with the aim of not holding large log inventories over the Christmas holidays. There was the usual swing of log volume from domestic supply to export as mills shut for the year.<\/p>\n

The Claymark group went into sudden receivership in the first week of December and log supply was stopped to their processing sites at Rotorua, Katikati and Thames. The receivers moved swiftly to restart log supply.<\/p>\n

Sawn timber markets<\/em><\/p>\n

The supply of structural and industrial grade sawn timber in New Zealand is high as mills aim to reduce their exposure to Asian markets that have been oversupplied by the spruce and other sawn timber produced from the damaged European forests. Maybe the opportunity will be in a few years\u2019 time when Europe is short of local sawn timber. If demand does not increase in 2020 there will likely be pressure on prices in these market segments.<\/p>\n

The domestic demand for clear timber is relatively stable and supply is managed as the price for the high quality clear sawn timber in Europe remains very high.<\/p>\n

Several sawmills that supply the Australian market are hopeful the market is now at the bottom of its cycle and there will be improvements in 2020. Year to date supply by value in 2019 is down about 18% compared to 2018.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
