Canadian lumber has been left out of Trump's tariff blitz, despite the president's repeated threats to add to import taxes to a big chunk of U.S. wood supply. Prices for two-by-fours are tumbling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Lumber futures contracts, many of which are satisfied with deliveries of Canadian wood, shed 8.7% to end at $606 per thousand board feet, the lowest price since mid February.<\/p>\n

They are on track for their worst day since the pandemic-era lumber bubble burst three years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prices had risen this year in\u00a0anticipation of another layer of import taxes. Those would have come on top of the duties already charged on Canadian lumber, as part of a long-running trade dispute between the two countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That climb is unwinding. But the decline can also be chalked up to expectations that tariffs will push up residential construction prices and strain affordability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The broad tariffs Trump announced Wednesday will add about $6,400 to the cost of building an average house, UBS analyst John Lovallo estimates. That assumes that about 7% of the materials are imported and subject to an average incremental tariff of 22%, as well as a 5% bump in the price of domestically produced materials.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\"These price increases could be tough for consumers in an already tight demand environment with big affordability challenges,\" Lovallo said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The biggest builders should be best able to absorb cost increases, he said, and could also build smaller houses that require less material and labor in order to keep prices down.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
