U.S. lumber and panel market reports

U.S.: Lumber and panel market report ---- Week 24  2017
Random Lengths Lumber Market Report
Demand for framing lumber perked up in most species, although not across the board. A drying spell in the Southeast, the pending determination in the anti-dumping case, and price levels that buyers more readily supported were all cited as factors in a strengthened sales pace. The major exception was Southern Pine; mills struggled to match sales with output, leaving prices soft and spanning wide ranges. Drops in SYP offset gains in other  species, and the Random Lengths Framing Lumber Composite Price edged down.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report
Structural panel prices gained ground amid uneven trading. OSB sales moderated from last week’s pace, but prices continued to march higher in all regions. Activity was strongest in the West, and double-digit increases were posted in most markets. In Southern Pine plywood, a lack of urgency among buyers led to a sporadic sales pace. Prices held as mills were able to extend order files. After mixed signals early in the week, western Fir plywood sales picked up Tuesday and hit a higher gear on Wednesday.
