<\/span>Lumber futures eased toward $630 per thousand board feet, retreating from a two-and-a-half-year high of $658, as erratic tariff policies from President Trump, and retaliatory measures from Canada and the European Union, strain global trade and stoke recession fears in the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n

However, the U.S. Producer Price Index recorded a softwood lumber surge of 11.7% over the past year, marking four consecutive months of double-digit annual growth.<\/p>\n

Tariff uncertainties have led builders to stockpile lumber to avoid potential tariffs on Canadian imports\u2014a strategy that has historically pushed prices up by as much as 25%.<\/p>\n

Mills are preemptively hiking prices by 25% to 65% amid shifting trade policies and supply chain disruptions.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Department of Commerce\u2019s proposal to nearly triple anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood\u2014from 14.5% to a potential 52%\u2014adds further uncertainty, given that Canada supplies 30% of the softwood used in the U.S. for housing and furniture.<\/p>\n

The lumber market is mostly reacting to the Trump administration\u2019s rollout of tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, which has caused confusion on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day there\u2019s a new interpretation of what Trump will do next,\u201d a Canadian wood industry insider said. \u201cThe whole lumber industry doesn\u2019t know what to do. We want to know what the rules of the game are. It\u2019s total chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to recent reports, U.S.-based homebuilders have been stockpiling lumber in the wake of the tariff announcements and making plans to switch from foreign imports to American-grown wood.\u00a0Due to a lack of domestic supply, the U.S. currently imports about 30 percent of the\u00a0softwood lumber\u00a0used in construction and home building.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
