Trading in framing lumber was nil, as buyers and sellers first awaited the preliminary determination in the countervailing duty case and then spent the rest of the week discerning its impact. Canadian producers and their customers were in a standoff. Trading at mills in the U.S. was slow, but generally more liquid. While Canadian mills’ first inclination to the CVD announcement was to raise prices, buyers took the opposite tack, noting that producers had sold little, if any, volume for May shipment.

Random Lengths Panel Market Report

Structural panel trading faded. OSB prices flattened at four-year highs across North America, and mill sales slowed to a crawl. With reported prices of 7/16-inch topping $300 in all producing regions, mills were content to hold to their quotes. The sales pace of recent weeks tapered off for many Southern Pine plywood mills amid buyer uncertainty about the market’s near-term direction. Western Fir plywood trading was steady, but slower than the previous week. Buyers stepped in only to cover basic necessities.
