<\/span>China softwood log inventory has started to rise as the usual peak March harvest production in New Zealand starts to arrive in China, and daily port off-take of logs remains consistent at about 60-65k m3\u00a0per day. The CFR price for logs is dropping as the market is uncertain about the effects of the tariff war between China and the USA and how it will affect world trade.\u00a0The CFR price for A grade logs is currently about 110 USD per JASm3, and exporters continue to face pricing pressure.<\/p>\n

Log supply from New Zealand is expected to decline, initially due to the shortened April work calendar, with only 19 working days because of Easter and ANZAC holidays. Wet weather across much of the country is also likely to disrupt harvesting operations. Beyond these seasonal factors, harvesting activity is expected to slow further in response to lower AWG prices.<\/p>\n

The Caixin China General Manufacturing PMI rose to 51.2 in March, from the previous 50.8 in February, again surpassing market expectations of 51.1. This is the highest reading since last November, with a sustained rise in new orders (foreign sales grew the most in 11 months). Business confidence, however, has weakened due to increased uncertainty about tariffs and trade barriers around the world.<\/p>\n

Currently lumber, wooden panels and other wood products are excluded by the US from reciprocal tariffs. This includes rough and surfaced lumber, plywood, MDF and other wood-based panels, blockboards, etc. However, these products are grouped together with automobiles, pharmaceutical, energy, and semi-conductors into strategic products which are included in a separate investigation and as stated on the executive order \"may become subject to future Section 232 tariffs\".\u00a0Industry analysts understand lumber and wood products are viewed by the US administration as part of products groups which they wish to permanently bring back to the US, so are likely to be subject to special higher duties in the future. This adds to the uncertainty for manufacturers purchasing logs to make these products to export to the US.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
