Market indicators for New Zealand logs in China are very good with solid demand, reducing inventory levels, and reduced supply from other countries. Log stocks will likely build in a quiet India with increased log supply.<span id=\"more-25025\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Due to the increase in export log prices the PF Olsen Log Price Index increased by $1 in November to $120.\u00a0 The index is currently $1 below the two-year average, $4 below the three-year average, and $3\u00a0below the five-year average.<\/p>\n<p>Some regions in New Zealand's North Island have a surplus supply of pruned logs while there is a shortage of good construction logs in some parts of the South Island where forest owners and managers have moved harvesting crews to tidy-up wind damaged or burnt forests. The logs produced from these forests do not produce sawn timber suitable for use in domestic construction.<\/p>\n<p>The New Zealand domestic market for sawn timber across all product ranges is very strong. Some mill managers referred to the market as \u201ccranking along\u201d. Many NZ mills report record levels of production and that many of their customers now have longer term forward orders for their services and products. This has previously been the case for private orders with strong DIY and house construction, and there are now longer-term orders for commercial sales as well. Some mill managers say they now have an issue finding enough trucks and drivers to deliver their products.<\/p>\n<p>The strengthening NZD against the USD has reduced revenue from export sales. Mill owners and managers have medium to long term concerns about cheaper sawn timber products from Europe (spruce), Russia and China.<\/p>\n<p>The CFR prices have increased for New Zealand pine logs due to solid demand, reduced supply, and lower inventory levels. The price for A grade New Zealand pine is currently around 123 USD per JASm3\u00a0and expected to increase for December deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>The longer-term supply situation may be beneficial for New Zealand logs with forecasts that 2021 will be the peak of spruce availability from Europe and a proposed Russian ban on export logs starting in January 2022.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: PFOlsen\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Domestic demand for New Zealand logs and sawn timber remains strong with domestic sales of sawn timber exceeding projections.\u00a0 The November AWG prices for export grade logs increased by 1-2 NZD per JASm3\u00a0from October prices.
