Industry Forecast - Lumber Pricing & Market Predictions
LUMBER: The market took a small break of sorts with only studs and 2x10's printing up slightly. Demand is strong and the market is firm for sure. Hopefully we have seen price appreciation slow down a bit but I'm thinking it won't peel off for a while.
PANEL: Panel market is still very firm and OSB is the hot commodity of the week again. On another note, the treat market is active as well. Heavy rains and flooding has made it difficult for sourcing logs. I see this tailing off however as dryer weather approaches.
