Industry Forecast - Lumber Pricing & Market Predictions
LUMBER: This week we saw mills shift gears and bump up numbers across the board. With really not much time to the building season left as we head into November, mills took a more defensive position. I expect bumps up and down for the rest of the year.
PANEL: With some major mill announcements on the OSB side of the market with indefinite curtailments, OSB saw a spike this week in pricing and pushed order files out just a bit. Look for Huber products to follow suit on Monday and bump things up.
